A Time of Loss

FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF ALONE ''Such a skilled and engaging writer'' Deborah Levy ''Schreiber''s prose is gorgeous, practically silken'' Lauren Groff Nothing in this world lasts forever. We find the fleeting nature of things impossible to accept - yet as both individuals and as a society, we''re constantly confronted by it. In A Time of Loss , Daniel Schreiber looks at a central human experience, connecting the personal and the social: from mourning conflict and climate change, to the personal grief that we''re plunged into when a loved-one dies. After the loss of his father, we follow Schreiber around Venice - where the beauty of the world sits so clearly alongside a sense of its impermanence. His subtle and thoughtful insights offer comfort and enrich us at a time when everything seems to provoke fear. It is a personal, gentle book, that ultimately makes a strong plea for optimism and life in the face of loss.
