Summary
From bestselling author Amanda Prowse comes a tale of a blissful life, a happy marriage, a beloved son…and a tragedy that destroys it all.
When Rachel Croft wakes up on her family’s boat in Bermuda, it’s to sunshine and yet another perfect day…until she goes to wake her seven-year-old son, Oscar. Because the worst thing imaginable has happened. He isn’t there.
In the dark and desperate days that follow, Rachel struggles to navigate her grief. And while her husband, James, wants them to face the tragedy together, Rachel feels that the life they once shared is over.

Disappointing
This book was recommended to me by Amazon saying ‘if I liked Jodi Picoult I would like this’. Picoult’s books have great plots, three dimensional characters and they always challenge your views on a particular subject. This book is a relentless account of one woman’s grief and I only listened as I assumed because of the Picoult reference there would be an interesting twist, but no. The narration lacked characterisation as all ‘parts’ were read in the same voice and tone.

Heartfelt story about losing a child
In the early part of this book, I was annoyed by the MC, Rachel. Her sadness was overwhelming and I felt she wasn’t fair to her husband. However, considering what she had been through, I couldn’t blame her. I can’t even imagine her sorrow.
As the story progressed and you saw her struggle with her grief, I started to understand her better and really feel for her. I even became defensive of her when certain people said things that were insensitive or hurtful. I wanted to help her through her misery. I wanted her to find her way back.
Cee Cee’s story is equally compelling. Throughout the book there are letters that Cee Cee writes to Rachel that tell her story. She is writing these letters in an effort to help Rachel through her grief, as parts of her life parallel Rachel’s. I don’t typically enjoy stories written in letter format, but these letters were able to draw me in and I wanted to know more.
I really enjoyed Cee Cee as a character and feel that her sections in the story were needed to temper the sadness of the rest of the book. Her story isn’t a happy one, but it has a different feel to it. Cee Cee’s story felt like she was making herself feel better by telling it, sort of her way of finally releasing her sadness. Rachel’s parts felt much more like she was drowning in her sorrow and struggling to find a way back. I think without Cee Cee’s letters, much of this story would have been difficult to read.
I’m so glad I decided to read this book. It was just excellent. I look forward to reading more of Ms. Prowse’s future work.

Deeply emotional!
Amanda Prowse always delivers such incredibly emotional stories. She makes you feel with intensity and her writing is filled with passion. There were so many heart-wrenching moments in The Coordinates of Loss. You could feel the depth of pain from each character. My heart broke for both Rachel & James. There were moments of hurt and anger toward Rachel and some of her decisions. I was hopeful for an ending of peace, love, and togetherness. I enjoyed Cee-Cee and everything she brought to the story. Her friendship and love gave so much added love to their family and was instrumental in Rachel and James’ healing.
The audio is amazing. I love that the author narrates her own story. You can feel all of the emotion poured out into the story.
A heartfelt story about the hardships of loss and the process of grieving and healing.
