Fi: A Memoir of My Son - Alexandra Fuller

Descriere & specificații

nFrom the award-winning New York Times-bestselling author of Don't Let's Go To The Dogs Tonight, Alexandra Fuller, comes a career defining memoir about grieving the sudden loss of her twenty-one-year-old child nn nA mesmeric celebration of a boy who died too soon, a mother's love and her resilience. It will help others surviving loss -- surviving life. -- David Sheff, New York Times nn n nFair to say, I was in a ribald state the summer before my fiftieth birthday. And so begins Alexandra Fuller's open, vivid new memoir, Fi. It's midsummer in Wyoming and Alexandra is barely hanging on. Grieving her father and pining for her home country of Zimbabwe, reeling from a midlife breakup, freshly sober and piecing her way uncertainly through a volatile new relationship with a younger woman, Alexandra vows to get herself back on even keel.n n nAnd then - suddenly and incomprehensibly - her son Fi, at 21 years old, dies in his sleep.n n nNo stranger to loss - young siblings, a parent, a home country - Alexandra is nonetheless leveled. At the same time, she is painfully aware that she cannot succumb and abandon her two surviving daughters as her mother before her had done. From a sheep wagon deep in the mountains of Wyoming to a grief sanctuary in New Mexico to a silent meditation retreat in Alberta, Canada, Alexandra journeys up and down the spine of the Rocky Mountains in an attempt to find how to grieve herself whole. There is no answer, and there are countless answers - in poetry, in
