Omschrijving
A unflinching memoir exploring the realities of marriage, care-giving, how we die and how we grieve.
Look elsewhere for cheeriness; the pleasures offered here are those of intelligence and complexity in the hard times that will come to many of us.
Digs away at our collective fantasy that in dying or caring for the dying we are at our best. In reality, in either role we are often withdrawn, in pain, resentful, bad-tempered: our worst . . . addictively unsentimental.
Extraordinary, unflinching, wonderful, moving.
A meticulously clear yet tender self-excavation exploring love and bereavement.
Sarah Tarlow has harnessed the consoling power of unvarnished truth. Direct, honest and deeply compassionate, this book is a companion for anyone navigating the hardships of loss and uncertainty.
Brave, bold and exquisitely told and with such vibrancy and force . . . a personal story of love, grief, and pain perfectly framed by the author's deep knowledge of the archaeologies of death and mourning.
A wonderful work of memoir . . . powerful, fiercely honest, grippingly written and utterly immersive.
A tender and big-hearted embrace of a book . . . A poetic excavation of loss, grief and ritual.
Scrupulously honest . . . Threaded through with tantalizing glimpses of the world of archaeology, Tarlow’s book is a raw, courageous examination of a sad ending to an uneasy relationship.
Profound and poignant . . . beautifully written.
Sarah Tarlow is a British archaeologist and academic. As professor of historical archaeology at the University of Leicester, Sarah is best known for her work on the archaeology of death and burial. She has written or edited ten academic books about archaeology and history. The Archaeology of Loss is her first memoir.
