SuitabookOne death, nine stories
Marc Aronson, Charles R. Smith Jr.
- Reading
- Pause around many viewpoints on one loss and ask how the book presents it.
- Themes
- Many viewpoints on one loss: Nine stories follow people with different connections to a teenage boy who has died, including his sister, friends and people who did not know him. The linked-story structure presents the effects of the death through several lives rather than a single account.
- Worth knowing
- A teenager’s death and bereavement are central; suicide is also among the book’s subjects.
