The Magician's Assistant - Ann Patchett

A novel about a woman who has lost her husband, and in the process of grieving learns more about him and herself than she ever imagined. Now, if somebody told me just that much about a novel, I wouldn't be in a rush to read it. Doesn't sound like my kind of story. But it is.
