Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: How do you rate tragedy? 5 stars. - For Henry: I was initially motivated to buy this book because I loved Rob's work on Catastrophe. Given he was part of the two person writing team on Catastrophe, it was clear he was a very talented writer who puts a lot of himself into his work. Anyway, I have to admit that the subject matter of his book didn't really appeal much - but as I follow him on Twitter, I was moved to buy it anyway. Given the profits are going to some amazing children's charities it felt like giving a donation and getting a gift in return. Bargain. Good feels and a pressie. The book itself it just amazing. I found myself blasting through it in a weekend, reading a bit, having a good cry, reading a bit more. It was filled with honesty and tragedy and humour and lots of other stuff too. It gave real insight into what to my mind (even as a childfree person) must be the biggest tragedy to be suffered by any sentient being, the loss of a child. In conclusion, buy this book. Keep a hanky nearby for when you read it. Maybe have something comforting to hand also, like chocolate or a friend. It's beautiful and deserves to be read. I wish Rob and his family joy. Review: Definitely worth the read! - Such an honest book about loss and grief. Definitely recommend. Devastating book with also traces of humour! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 26,865 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 68 in Death & Bereavement 229 in Actors & Entertainers Biographies 30,300 in Literature & Fiction (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (3,416) | | Dimensions | 12.6 x 1.8 x 19.6 cm | | ISBN-10 | 1399710885 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1399710886 | | Item weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print length | 192 pages | | Publication date | 31 Aug. 2023 | | Publisher | Hodder Paperbacks | ## Images ![A Heart That Works: The Sunday Times bestselling, moving true story of love and loss - as heard on R4's Desert Island Discs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816CxSltn3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ How do you rate tragedy? 5 stars. *by M***H on 20 January 2023* For Henry: I was initially motivated to buy this book because I loved Rob's work on Catastrophe.

Devastating book with also traces of humour! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ so brutally and beautifully honest *by M***N on 10 August 2024* Loved how savage and raw and moving and joyous it was to read their journey as a family. To voice those brutal angry feelings that grief bring up is so brave and wondrous and normalising. Lost my second Dad this year and my cousin and this book helped me to feel joy and laugh and cry and rage at the injustice of life. A great and necessary and inspiring read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/552514945-a-heart-that-works-the-sunday-times-bestselling-moving-true](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/552514945-a-heart-that-works-the-sunday-times-bestselling-moving-true) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
