Jonathan Tropper knows how to talk about sad things sincerely, but not sentimentally, with humor, but without mockery. The novel “How to communicate with a widower” is the story of a young man who is surviving the death of his wife who died in a plane crash, raising her teenage son, helping a pregnant sister, reconciling with another sister’s fiancé, trying to get used to the fact that his father fell into senile insanity, and also understands that the time has come for him to get out of the shell of sorrow and start a new life - and this task turns out to be the most difficult. On this path, mistakes, difficulties, and revelations await him.
