Good Grief
By Lolly Winston
Good
Grief sucks the reader
right into the tragic story of Sophie Stanton. Sophie is a well-liked
woman in her small community who suffers the loss of the one person
she could turn to no matter what, her spouse. Good Grief
tells the story of how Sophie Stanton comes from the depths of depression
to overcome and be successful in her life without her husband.
For a debut
novel, this is one of the better ones out there. Ms. Winston does
a better than average job of making a reader fall in sympathy for
a main character. The characterization of Sophie Stanton and her
friends who try to help her through her grief is simply fantastic.
The characterization is simple yet contains a lot of depth. The
reader will go through an array of emotions while reading Good
Grief. Some of these go from crying to laughing out loud.
Everyone knows
a Sophie Stanton and most have experienced a loss of someone that
they have cared about. Good Grief tells a heartfelt story
about loss and our one fictional character is able to overcome it
and be inspiring to readers.
