Why read it?
1 author picked Grievers as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I adore this book as it feels deeply woven with the legacy of Octavia Butler: gripping, socially engaged science fiction that is full of brilliant information about how to survive societal collapse.

This systemic lack of care makes it hard for many folks to have their needs met in life, let alone have a dignified death. I gobbled this book up and was very sad to have finished it.
From Camille's list on collective grief society and web of life.
