“A deeply moving tribute to her husband, Tony Horwitz, who died suddenly and unexpectedly. How we all wish we had the gift of a great writer to be able to pay loving tribute to a loved one we’ve lost. Geraldine Brooks has that gift and writes marvelously about her grief but doesn’t leave you depressed. Instead, you come away in awe of her ability to paint a nuanced portrait of the man she loved and still loves.”
