They strike up conversations over picnic lunches and find they have more in common than they ever would have imagined. Maddy doesn’t have a personal connection to this particular cemetery, but she finds the quiet grounds peaceful after the chaos of school and the tension at home. ![]() Elizabeth Berg has given her characters so much heart, you just want to give them a big hug. The novel centers around two people who form an unlikely friendship in a cemetery: a grief-stricken widower and a teenage girl who’s being viciously bullied. Arthur visits the cemetery to talk to his late wife, Nora, though he has a gift for divining the backstories of the graveyard’s other permanent residents. Sweet and sometimes sad, The Story of Arthur Truluv is full of charm. A cemetery might be an odd place for two people to strike up a friendship-especially an elderly man and a teenage girl-but Arthur Moses and Maddy Harris are fairly odd people. ![]()
