In this moment of despair they are visited by Crow - antagonist, trickster, healer, babysitter. This sentimental bird is drawn to the grieving family and threatens to stay until they no longer need him. As weeks turn to months and the pain of loss gives way to memories, the little unit of three starts to heal. Full of unexpected humour and profound emotional truth, Grief Is the Thing with Feathers marks the arrival of a new talent.
