Query: A denial of pain

Although some of my friends enjoyed this book, I found it unsatisfying for the single reason that the writer--unlike Joyce Carol Oates and Francisco Goldman (in his magnificent Say Her Name)-- is unable to confront and express her pain. As she is driving around avoiding the streets she and her husband visited together, she also avoids the stations of pain and the memories which might have created a vivid image of her dead husband. The title says it all: What is magical about a year of grief? Avoidance of pain.
