Grave Reading Richard Carr 1:a utgåva

Grave Reading is the story of a widower surviving loneliness, spiritual isolation, and the tribulations and trivialities of daily life, a journey that starts with nothing more than mementos: his wife?s nightgown, her hand-painted lacquer tray, some ?seashells and fossils in a shoebox.? As the years pass, he travels through realms of loss and emptiness?his own aging and illness, his inner ugliness and outward anger?but gradually rediscovers the love that ?lights a memory of her face? and opens the possibility of finding her again in his own heart, where he ?left her last / on a hilltop by the sea.?
