A stunning blend of the personal and professional, The Archaeology
of Loss is Sarah Tarlow's first memoir. An accomplished
archaeologist, much of Sarah's work is concerned with the ritual
and belief behind the practice of grief. In 2012, she was awarded
the Chair in Archaeology at the University of Leicester. But in the
years that followed this appointment, Sarah's husband, Mark, would
begin to suffer from a progressive but undiagnosed illness, finally
resulting in his inability to drive, to walk, to taste or to care
for himself. Though Sarah had devoted her professional life to the
study of emotion, of how we anticipate and experience grief,
nothing could have prepared her for the realities of care-giving,
of losing someone you love and the helplessness attached to both. A
fiercely honest and unique memoir, The Archaeology of Loss
describes a collective experience with an unflinching and singular
gaze and will undoubtedly speak to readers of The Salt Path and H
is for Hawk. Told with humour, intelligence and urgency, this is an
unforgettable piece of writing.
