Many people who have been bereaved have found A Grief Observed to be a source of great consolation ... This value of the book - at least in its depiction of grief, if not in its more theological aspects - is confirmed by the various Readers who write movingly of deeply painful losses. It is the honesty of Lewis's writing as he describes his suffering, and his attempts to overcome it which, it would seem, is of such help. It is a relief for the reader to find that he or she is not alone in the intense loneliness or feelings of anguish that bereavement brings., The Times
C. S. Lewis's classic work on grief presented alongside new works by Hilary Mantel, Rowan Williams, Francis Spufford, Jenna Bailey and Douglas Gresham.
