Inhaltsangabe

The cruel early death of his wife Helen tears up the script of Adam Golightly's middle-class, middle-aged existence. Miserably single, outnumbered by his kids and haunted by life's screaming fragility, he recounts his fight back against the hand of fate. This irreverent and frank memoir follows Adam's snakes-and-ladders journey through his grief in the year following his wife's death, as he struggles with small town tongue wagging, the trauma of teenage bra shopping and online dating anarchy.Adam's is the biggest mid-life crisis anyone could face and as he starts to build a new, alternative life for himself and his children, he shows not just how to survive bereavement but how to be transformed by it.

Críticas:

"Poignant, funny, ultimately uplifting. We are all Adam" - Harriet Green, Observer Magazine

Reseña del editor:

Practical, candid, this is much more than a `coping with grief' narrative. Instead it is courageous and humorous. Being Adam Golightly is an uplifting, inspirational story of transformation and survival told with grittiness and humour. Rewritten from the hugely popular columns `Widower of the Parish' in The Guardian. A humorous and brave treatment of a tragic topic, in the style of David Nicholls, Dawn French and Outnumbered.
