An examination of grief and a celebration of love by internationally bestselling author James Runcie.
What The Reviewers Say
An unusually honest account of the jumbled-up feelings of sadness and madness that grief produces.
Runcie has written a love letter to the woman who, when he announced to his parents that he was going to marry her, prompted a less than ecstatic response.
This is by no means a depressing read.
One of the book’s many achievements is its description — unsparing, blackly comic — of nursing someone through a disabling and terminal illness in a world of Zoom consultations and social distancing.
