Leah Hager Cohen is one of our foremost chroniclers of the mundane complexities, nuanced tragedies and unexpected tendernesses of human connection...The Grief of Others is her best work yet.

Simply - gorgeous. It's rare to find a novel that so elevates itself in the end, that achieves an emotional resolution without a contrived tidiness and with a narrative power that seems inevitable but not predictable...By novel's end, Cohen has given us a very real story that honors…our own flawed need to love.

In her ability to create memorable characters, to probe deep below the surface, and to render the world she creates in language that makes it all come alive on the page, Cohen stands out from the crowd.

Dazzling...This novel glows with intelligence, insight, and beauty.
