Reviews

"Shadows in the Sun: The Experiences of Sibling Bereavement in Childhood is an impressive combination of insightful caring, informed scholarship, rigorous research and practical utility. Professor Davies is uniquely qualified to introduce us to sibling bereavement-In my judgment, no other contemporary author could have produced this rich and rewarding manuscript. You are about to embark on an enlightening journey as you begin reading this excellent book.."
