A deeply moving love story and grief memoir from one of Australia's most respected and longstanding public figures.
It was a warm October day when his life splintered down the middle. She was gone in a flash. Everything changed forever.
For three months, in shock at this horror, he maintained a regime of late-night walks across the city. There came a time when he had walked enough, and so he stopped.
Bring Back Yesterday is a love story, and the account of the author finding his footing again after the death of his wife, Helena.
Raw and compelling, the anecdotes and insights Bob Carr shares will resonate with anyone who has ever been in a long-term relationship or lost a much-loved partner.
'A soul-searing portrait of love and loss ... This unsparing account of a powerful man unravelled by grief is a brave gift to all who have suffered, and will suffer, the inevitable tragedy of being human.' Geraldine Brooks
'A power rarely seen on the page and will be of immense value for anyone dealing with the agony of losing the person they love most.' Troy Bramston
'A memoir of raw and extraordinary power' David Marr
'This scorching book burns with passion and pain, but also with resilience and a defiant hope' Greg Sheridan
'Elegantly written and unusually emotionally self-reflective for a book by a former politician, it also brims with hope for the recently bereaved and grief-stricken.' The Guardian
'A beautiful book about love continuing when the loved one has gone' The Saturday Paper
'This candid and frank, but reflective and deeply felt love letter to his lost "friend" reminds us never to take anyone or anything for granted.' Sydney Morning Herald
