In this moving memoir, Tom Inglis recounts his life and the love he shared with Aileen, who died from breast cancer in 2005. Relentlessly honest about his feelings and his failings as a husband and a lover, and touching on everything from infidelity to the loss of his child, Inglis provides a raw but authentic portrait of a man struggling to comprehend love, death, and the complexities of living.
I have just finished this book. I have never cried so much reading. So beautifully written by Tom Inglis, an Irish author, with his honest and moving memoir that blends past and present, telling the difficult topic of grief, whilst also exploring love and sex in Catholic Ireland in the 60s and 70s, along with time spent in America. I highly recommend but be ready for the emotion you will feel from these pages.
