5 Stars - Didn't even expect to like it. I was sort of right: I loved it.
Short, but as long as it needs to be, and no more. It illustrates a few nuggets of timeless wisdom without being self-helpish. Holds up nicely as a good story, well told, and deserves a wider audience than just caregivers and people dealing with grief.
