Winner of the PEN/Ackerley Prize 2014 The book opens and we are
inside the wave: thirty feet high, moving at twenty-five mph,
racing two miles inland. And from there into the depths of the
author's despair: how to live now that her life has been undone?
Sonali Deraniyagala tells her story - the loss of her two boys, her
husband, and her parents - without artifice or sentimentality. In
the stark language of unfathomable sorrow, anger, and guilt: she
struggles through the first months following the tragedy -- someone
always at her side to prevent her from harming herself, her whole
being furiously clenched against the reality she can't face; and
then reluctantly emerging and, over the ensuing years, slowly
allowing her memory to function again. Then she goes back through
the rich and joyous life she's mourning, from her family's home in
London, to the birth of her children, to the year she met her
English husband at Cambridge, to her childhood in Colombo while
learning the balance between the almost unbearable reminders of her
loss and her fundamental need to keep her family, somehow, still
with her.
