A quick, introspective read about her friend’s suicide and the impact it has on her and her worldview. The theft of her jewelry a month before ties into the event as if it was predestined, a somewhat tenuous link that veers into a mystery short story all on its own but nevertheless an absorbing subplot. There’s no grand revelations on grief here but it’s still a tenderly acute portrayal of a person grappling with the aftermath, making sense of the unsensible.
