The Girl Who Was Sorrow's Friend was written in 2014 (I think) and a friend helped me edit it. It was quite a mess, and I had a hard time in the aftermath of writing it deciding what to make of it. I was exploring stream of consciousness writing, and it was my first foray into fiction, somewhat, though I found myself jumping into the narrative, breaking the fourth wall. The book centers on a young woman named Sid, who we find at loose ends and feeling disconnected from friends, remembering the only man she ever loved who died before her dark eyes after saving her from OD'ing, twice; and her mother's death, a suicide; her father's illness, leaving him catatonic; and finding herself unemployed with no direction, a dark seed is planted in her otherwise strong spirit.

A powerful tragedy distilled into a small masterpiece by the Nobel Prize-winning author of Beloved and, almost like a prelude to that story, set two centuries earlier. Jacob is an Anglo-Dutch trader in 1680s United States, when the slave trade is still in its infancy. Reluctantly he takes a small slave girl in part payment from a plantation owner for a bad debt. Feeling rejected by her slave mother, 14-year-old Florens can read and write and might be useful on his farm. Florens looks for love, first from Lina, an older servant woman at her new master's house, but later from the handsome blacksmith, an African, never enslaved, who comes riding into their lives . . . At the novel's heart, like Beloved, it is the ambivalent, disturbing story of a mother and a daughter – a mother who casts off her daughter in order to save her, and a daughter who may never exorcise that abandonment.

A “wickedly funny” (Newsweek) collection of ten short stories from Nobel Prize–winning author Alice Munro, “one of the most eloquent and gifted writers of contemporary fiction” (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times). “Each of her collections demonstrates such linguistic skill, delicacy of vision, and . . . moral strength and clarity.”—Chicago Tribune A woman haunted by dreams of her dead mother. An adulterous couple stepping over the line where the initial excitement ends and the pain begins. A widow visiting a Scottish village in search of her husband’s past—and instead discovering unsetting truths about a total stranger. The miraculously accomplished stories in this collection not only astonish and delight, but also convey the unspoken mysteries at the heart of all human experience. The mastery—the almost numinous ability to say the unsayable—makes Friend of My Youth a genuine literary event.

If that's not bad enough, Heather starts talking to a ghost named Helen and warning Molly and Michael that Helen is coming for them. Molly feels certain Heather is in some kind of danger, but every time she tries to help, Heather twists things around to get her into trouble. It seems as if things can't get any worse.

From the bestselling author of Women Talking, a "wrenchingly honest, darkly funny novel" (Entertainment Weekly). Elf and Yoli are sisters. While on the surface Elfrieda's life is enviable (she's a world-renowned pianist, glamorous, wealthy, and happily married) and Yolandi's a mess (she's divorced and broke, with two teenagers growing up too quickly), they are fiercely close-raised in a Mennonite household and sharing the hardship of Elf's desire to end her life. After Elf's latest attempt, Yoli must quickly determine how to keep her family from falling apart while facing a profound question: what do you do for a loved one who truly wants to die? All My Puny Sorrows is a deeply personal story that is as much comedy as it is tragedy, a goodbye grin from the friend who taught you how to live.

This is a novella of about 50,000 words, written for National Novel Writing Month in 2014. It is a literary novella about a girl named Sid who contemplates whether life is worth living. There is also an AUTHOR that keeps jumping into the story, and a few other odd characters that take over the narrative. It contains a lot of musings on life and death and some stream of consciousness writing. It has been described as "unappealing" and "too dark" and "sloppy" and was accused of "using too many pronouns" by some of the random internet people who have seen portions of it. My friend and only current reader really liked it, however, and felt it sucked her in no matter what part she was reading. It is her favorite book of mine.Not much happens. It really is just a long, despairing, stream of consciousness diatribe about life and death. And there is nothing conclusive, no particular message I try to get across. Just a muddy musing about the girl who was sorrow's friend.
