Part memoir and part sociological study, [The Empty Room] uses personal remembrance and interviews to study the grief felt by siblings who have lost a brother or sister. The author was the sister of one of the "bubble boys," and the fame of his case was often overwhelming for her and her family after he died. She charts her own attempts to grieve her brother and to understand the grief of her parents. At the same time, she interweaves the recollections of other siblings who have lost one or more brothers or sisters (including an interesting chapter on twins). The book is interesting for someone in the process of grieving, but is equally interesting on its own. ( )
