Description
From best-selling author Ann Hood comes a sophisticated and suspenseful novel about the poignant lives of two women living in different eras.
On the day John F. Kennedy is inaugurated, Claire, a young wife and mother obsessed with the glamour of Jackie, struggles over the decision of whether to stay in a loveless but secure marriage or to follow the man she loves and whose baby she may be carrying. Decades earlier, in 1919, Vivien Lowe, an obituary writer, is searching for her lover, who disappeared in the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. By telling the stories of the dead, Vivien not only helps others cope with their grief but also begins to understand the devastation of her own terrible loss. The surprising connection between these two women will change Claire’s life in unexpected and extraordinary ways.
Part literary mystery and part love story, The Obituary Writer examines expectations of marriage and love, the roles of wives and mothers, and the emotions of grief, regret, and hope.

Beautiful. Hopeful. Heartbreaking.
Ann Hood has written a lovely book centred around an unexpected story. Two stories, in fact, woven together by loss and passion viewed through the lens of two historic life-altering events: the first, framed by the 1906 Los Angeles earthquake; the second, by the hopefulness and change of the Kennedy inauguration. I picked up this audiobook without expecting much of anything other than a great narration by Tavia Gilbert, and came away much the richer for having read it. These stories and their characters will live on in my mind for a very long time.
