Antoine Leiris

This was a heartbreaking and beautiful treatise on grief.
After losing his wife in the Bataclan attack, Antoine Leiris posted on Facebook and was flooded with support and appreciation. Following the post he immediately started writing this book. Although it was heartbreakingly sad, Leiris’ background as a cultural commentator and journalist meant his writing was spare, sharp and exquisitely beautiful.
I raced through this and will probably read it again at a more leisurely pace.

I received this book through a Goodreads giveaway.

As I read this book my heart broke. It broke for Antoine, for Melvil, for Helene, for Paris, for France, for the world. Yet by the end of this book I felt hopeful for them, for us. This book gave me a glimpse in the life of the survivors of a tragedy. This is a beautifully written book and I am truly thankful that i read it
