Description
A poignant memoir of love and recovery after a life-changing stroke, twinned to a powerful account of his father's experience in World War II. Jonathan Raban recounts his own journey through rehabilitation, learning again how to walk and climb stairs, and rethinking how to write and even read. As he navigates the challenges of his new body, Raban weaves an intimate narrative of his parents' relationship during the war years. Through letters exchanged between them, he reveals the budding love of two young people set against the tumultuous backdrop of World War II's various fronts. This powerful story explores the human capacity to adapt to trauma and the warmth, strength, and humor that persist despite it, resulting in a moving account of mourning and resilience.
