Description
A poignant and humorous account of single fatherhood in the aftermath of bereavement. Antoine Leiris recounts his journey as he navigates the challenges of raising his young son alone, from imagining the reviews he might receive as a parent to dealing with the complexities of new relationships and talking to children about loss.
With remarkable self-awareness and humour, Leiris charts the course of their life together, finding ways to create a happy home for his son despite the difficulties they face. This is a heart-wrenching yet uplifting story that explores the transformative power of grief and the resilience of the human spirit.
Life, After is a moving and thought-provoking exploration of one man's journey towards healing and rebuilding his life after tragedy. A powerful and deeply personal memoir that will resonate with anyone who has experienced loss or struggle.
