The Elements

A Widowhood
'Powerful, humane and deeply affecting, Lister's wise and truthful writing makes this essential reading for anyone touched, and utterly confused, by grief.' - Sali Hughes
'The must-read memoir' - RedWhat does it mean to become a widow at 35?

In her mid-thirties Kat Lister lost her husband to brain cancer. After five years of being awife and one of being a carer, in love and in and out of hospitals, she became a widow.In the year following his death Kat seeks refuge in stories of grief and widowhood, butstruggles to find a language that can make sense of her experience and the physicality ofbereavement. Instead, she turns to the elements - fire, water, earth, air - on her quest tocome to terms with her grief, to inhabit her body again, and to find out who she is now.

The Elements is a story of love, pain, hope and, ultimately, transformation.
