The Optimist's Daughter - Eudora Welty

Extremely well written story of the days leading up to and after Lauren's father's death. It showed the grieving process - without being a tear jerker. I am still processing this one, so I don't know what to say. I don't think I'd read it again (even though I was motivated to finish it in less than a day), but it was definitely good enough to pass on to others.
