but her absence was like a character in it.

The story revolves around the emotional void left by loved ones after they pass away, illustrating how their absence creates an almost tangible presence that affects the lives of those they left behind.

Through vivid storytelling and emotional depth, Albom invites readers to consider how absence shapes our experiences and relationships, ultimately highlighting the enduring bonds that remain even after death.
