A Time of Loss

<p><b>FROM THE INTERNATIONALLY BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF <i>ALONE</i></b><br><br><b>'Such a skilled and engaging writer'</b><br>Deborah Levy<br><br><b>'Schreiber's prose is gorgeous, practically silken'</b><br>Lauren Groff<br><br><br>Nothing in this world lasts forever. We find the fleeting nature of things impossible to accept - yet as both individuals and as a society, we're constantly confronted by it. <br><br>In <i>A Time of Loss</i>, Daniel Schreiber looks at a central human experience, connecting the personal and the social: from mourning conflict and climate change, to the personal grief that we're plunged into when a loved-one dies. After the loss of his father, we follow Schreiber around Venice - where the beauty of the world sits so clearly alongside a sense of its impermanence.<br><br>His subtle and thoughtful insights offer comfort and enrich us at a time when everything seems to provoke fear. It is a personal, gentle book, that ultimately makes a strong plea for optimism and life in the face of loss.</p>
