This Week’s Featured Book

Grief is for People
Sloane Crosley

Disarmingly witty and poignant, Sloane Crosley's memoir explores multiple kinds of loss following the death of her closest friend.

How do we live without the ones we love? Grief Is for People is a deeply moving and suspenseful portrait of friendship, and a book about loss that is profuse with life. Sloane Crosley is one of our most renowned observers of contemporary behavior, and now the pathos that has been ever present in her trademark wit is on full display. After the pain and confusion of losing her closest friend to suicide, Crosley looks for answers in philosophy and art, hoping for a framework more useful than the unavoidable stages of grief.

About The Book Witch

Amélie de Beaumont-Mabee is the owner of The Book Witch.

As a lifelong reader and book lover, Amélie dreamed for years of opening up a little shop for other readers and book collectors to discover new worlds and new obsessions, for people who feel isolated or disconnected to find community and connection. Opening The Book Witch in her hometown of Mattapoisett is especially important and dear to her, as there is no other local or independent bookstore in the Tri-Town area of Mattapoisett, Marion and Rochester.

For Amélie, all books are different types of magic - so she'd like you to consider her your local village book witch.
