How do you cope with loss? Do you wear black and cover the mirrors? Do you sit shivah? Do you trap your husband's soul in a box after he dies trying to save a baby from a burning building? Yeah, that does seem rare. But in Noah Haidle's Vigils, that's exactly what one wife does. Meanwhile, her beloved fireman's body is wandering around with no direction--because, well, his soul is trapped in a box. The issue is not only the soul torture, but what the wife will do when another man enters her troubled life.
