Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. The Layers is the debut novel from Stephen Reynolds, exploring how our identity is shaped by our relationships. The anonymous protagonist recounts his life story, showing us how the people he has loved his parents, sister, grandfather, best friend, and partner have all helped to form who he is. He is a different version of himself with each loved one, versions which combine to make up a whole person. However, as the book goes on and the protagonist starts to lose grip of people around him, he begins to wonder who he really is without them. Are the various versions of himself lost with those who knew them, or can he remain whole in spite of their loss? Struggling with overwhelming grief and its consequential identity crisis, he teeters on the edge of fading away completely. Can he find a way to pull those lost pieces of himself back together, or is he forever lost to the void?Stephen started writing The Layers after losing someone close to him and considering whether a version of himself had also been lost. I think The Layers is important because it sets out to de-normalise loss, he says. Well all experience grief and death in our lifetimes. The Layers shouts about that. It seeks to confront it but offers no suggestion of peace through doing so. But the novel isnt all doom and gloom. It highlights the joy and beauty of our most important relationships, and the imprints they leave behind even after they are gone. It is a life-affirming look at how we are reborn through our losses to truly appreciate the connections we have had and those which remain. It is a love story dedicated to all of our quirks, our eccentricities, our nuances, our layers. A story of love, life, loss and identity. A life viewed through the relationships that matter most. A family with a bond so strong that they thought it could never be broken. Until it was. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
