‘A tender memoir of the challenges of bereavement ... I closed
this book wishing I’d met her – but feeling that I almost
had’ Daily Telegraph _______________ A memoir of a husband's
grief, and an unforgettable portrait of a marriage; a profound
examination of sorrow, and a great celebration of love - by the
Sunday Times-bestselling author James Runcie James Runcie’s wife
Marilyn Imrie died in August 2020. Their thirty-five year marriage
had been miraculously happy – until, in the last two years of
Marilyn’s life, she descended into the pain and humiliation of
motor neurone disease. In the wake of her death, Runcie stumbled in
the dark. How do you make sense of the decline and death of the
most alive person you have ever met? And how do you go about
building a life worth living in their absence? In Tell Me Good
Things, Runcie tells the story of Marilyn’s illness and death –
in all its moments of tragedy, rage, farce and surrealness –
while painting a vivid portrait of her life and their marriage: a
partnership defined by a shared love of beauty, conviviality and
storytelling. And during that first year of loss, he awakens to the
strange paradox of grief: that the way to survive Marilyn's death
is to understand how very good she was at living. Tender, funny,
profound and deeply true, Tell Me Good Things is an unforgettable
story of life before death – and love beyond the grave. ‘A
touchingly honest and tender memoir' The Times ‘A wonderful
addition to the literature of bereavement’ Sunday Times
