"Beautifully written, complex, provocative, painful, genuine...an
unforgettable memoir."-ROXANE GAY "Wonderfully lyrical and
uncomfortably honest in a way that is so rare, yet so
needed."-JENNY LAWSON "Disturbing and profound, this intimate book
also reveals the sometimes-labyrinthine nature of the bonds that
unite people in love...A provocative and memorable work."-Kirkus
Reviews After years of struggling in a tumultuous marriage, writer
Rebecca Woolf was finally ready to leave her husband. Two weeks
after telling him she wanted a divorce, he was diagnosed with stage
four pancreatic cancer. Four months later, at the age of
forty-four, he died. In All of This, Woolf chronicles the months
before her husband's death-and her rebirth after he was gone. With
rigorous honesty and incredible awareness, she reflects on the end
of her marriage: how her husband's illness finally gave her the
space to make peace with his humanity and her own. Stunning,
compelling, and brilliantly nuanced, All of This is one woman's
story of embracing the complexities of grief without shame-as a
mother, a widow, and a sexual being-and emerging on the other side
of a relationship with gratitude and relief.
