Book recommendation

I think I mentioned this book a while back, but (unfortunately) there's a lot of new ladies on here and thought it worth a mention again. Also, I just finished reading it for the second time and loved it even for than the first. It's "An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination" by Elizabeth McCracken.

It's the author's account of her full-term stillborn son, and her pregnancy with her rainbow baby. Even though our circumstances were different, I really related to everything she wrote about. She has such a lovely narrative, a fantastic way of putting into words exactly what I am feeling, and I daresay I even laughed quite a few times. I read it immediately after Nathaniel died and just re-read it this week. All the emotions made even more sense to me now, since I am further out from my loss.

Anyway, I love this book. It's a quick read too.

Thank you for the recommendation.  I ordered it over the weekend and am already 1/2 way through.  I really like it.  You're right - she has a good way of putting things to reflect exactly how I felt/feel.

That book is amazing. I ordered it about two weeks after we lost Ellie, and read it all in one day. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it. I hope to re-read it in the next few weeks too.
