“Unveiling Grief: Eiren Caffall Reveals the Hidden Wisdom in ‘The Mourner’s Bestiary'”
Having the chance to talk about her work and the long road to well-deserved success was a delight.
Amy Eaton: This book took you a really long time to write. Twelve years ago, you came into our writing group after you had been working diligently on your novel which is now All the Water in the World. Maybe you’d gotten another rejection from an agent or a query, but you announced, “I put the novel in a drawer! I am now writing a new book, and it’s called The Mourners Bestiary!” I was like the exploding head emoji, like I don’t even know how you can do that! How do you just do that after working on the novel for so long?
