For that reason, he wants them to understand.A Heart That Works is an intimate, unflinching and fiercely funny exploration of loss - from the harrowing illness to the vivid, bodily impact of grief and the blind, furious rage that follows, through to the forceful, unstoppable love that remains.------Readers love A Heart That Works:'Just amazing. I found myself blasting through it in a weekend, reading a bit, having a good cry, reading a bit more. It was filled with honesty and tragedy and humour and lots of other stuff too.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Loved how savage and raw and moving and joyous it was to read their journey as a family. To voice those brutal angry feelings that grief bring up is so brave and wondrous and normalising . . . A great and necessary and inspiring read.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'I read this in one sitting. It is funny, poignant, heart-breaking, and sob inducingly brilliant. It shows the reader what real grief looks like whilst doing my favourite thing during hard times, laughing. It is filled with genuine love and emotion with the perfect amount of anger.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
