Susan Hill said of this book: ?The events and characters in the novel are wholly invented. The time is not the present and the death was very different. But the emotions were real. They were mine and I could never have written the book if I had not experienced them.It is set in an unspecified past ? but is probably somewhere between the end of the first World War, in 1918, and the beginning of the Second, in 1939.?

Review
"In the Springtime of the Year… speaks of home-truths, of rituals, of long-established ways of life and of a sense of sharing… (of a woman's) progress through stages of grief. It is less a novel than a portrait of an emotion, and as this it is poignant and convincing." --The New York Times

Poor, poor Ruth,
This review is from: In the Springtime of the Year (Nonpareil Book) (Paperback)
This is one of the saddest books I've ever read. It tells the story of Ruth a young woman who has recently been widowed. It details the way she deals with grief, the torment, and depression that follows such a loss.Alone with her thoughts, and the material objects left from a short marriage, Ruth has to try and reclaim her life, this time without Ben. It contains lots of prose describing many things, the woods, the countryside around, but I was left wanting slightly more. If you don't need a tissue while you read this book, then you didn't cry when you first watched Bambi!
