À propos de cette écoute
A mother- and daughter-in-law. To move on, one of them will have to move out in a hopeful and hilarious novel about widowhood and family friction by the bestselling author of Don’t Forget to Write.
It’s 1963, two years since Barbara Feldman’s husband died. Raising two kids, she’s finally emerging from her cocoon of grief. Not yet a butterfly, but she’s anxious to spread her wings.
Then one day her mother-in-law, Ruth, shows up on her doorstep with five suitcases, expecting a room of her own with a suitable mattress. Abrasive and stuck in her ways yet well meaning, Mother Ruth arrives without warning to help with the children. How can Barbara say no to a woman who is not only a widow herself but also a grieving mother? As Ruth’s prickly visit turns from days to weeks to what seems like forever, Barbara realizes Ruth has got to go. But Barbara has an ingenious plan: introduce Ruth to some fine gentlemen and marry her off as fast as she can.
Soon enough, something tells Barbara that Ruth is trying to do the same for her. At least they’re finding common ground—helping each other to move forward. Even if it is in the most unpredictable ways two totally different women ever imagined.

“Sara Goodman Confino’s writing shines as bright as her characters’ sparkling personalities in this clever and satisfying story of moving on. With Confino’s trademark wit and humorous one-liners, readers are sure to delight in this uplifting tale of finding love after grief, even in the most unlikeliest of places.”—Heidi Shertok, author of Unorthodox Love
“Sara Goodman Confino is a force of literature. In her latest, Good Grief, protagonist Barbara navigates the treacherous sea of mourning after the loss of her spouse, including a not-so-welcome visit from her late husband’s mother. This is a touching tale of learning to live and love again, told with Confino’s trademark heart and wit. Delightful, poignant, and rife with humor—a not-to-be-missed book of the summer!”—Aimie K. Runyan, bestselling author of The Wandering Season
“Barbara and Ruth share a similar pain. Living under the same roof, the widowed mother and daughter-in-law butt heads as they wade through loneliness and grief. And when they each scheme to find love for the other one, Confino does what she does best: crafting a brimming tale of family and second chances while finding joy through our sorrows. Special nod to the tiny gems from former books Confino has sprinkled within the pages. But mostly, readers will fall in love with this bighearted story full of hope.”—Rochelle B. Weinstein, bestselling author of This Is Not How It Ends
