A unique, intimate and beautiful exploration of grief, loss, healing and faith'This is a beautiful book, a remarkable, cadenced recollection of how grief lives in the body.
It is poetry as a kind of dance.
You have to read it' EDMUND DE WAALWe sat in the kitchen across the small wooden table from each other.
She cried like banks bursting, then silence;
like winds blowing through her shoulders, chest bouncing, then long shallow breaths.
She ruptured and I watched, still, emotionless.
'You must stop crying.'When Marie-Elsa was just six years old, her mother took her own life.
Now, many years later, she returns to that night.
Going back to that moment, inhabiting this defining tragedy, allows for an exploration of the grief but also brings healing.
