Grief lingers, as much as love

Grief lingers as much as love, so why is one feared and the other revered? Why does one attract suspicion, or even a clinical diagnosis (if it lingers for too long), while the other permits all manner of expression, in poetry and song penned as freely as judgement is imposed on prolonged grief.

Eris knows why. She has seen how this false dichotomy can be wielded as a weapon or a shield against people who are misunderstood. She has been the witch-hunted scapegoat and cast out of a community that never wanted her in the first place. But she won’t let that distract her from the truth about what happened to her daughter. So you will see that Tangled Knot, the first of a trilogy, is a tale of grief but also vengeance.

Written by queer author BB Clifford, Tangled Knot is available now.
