A scattering :

Reid, Christopher, 1949-

A scattering : and, anniversary / Anniversary Christopher Reid. - 88 pages ; 22 cm

First published in the United States in 2017.

This edition brings together A Scattering and Anniversary in a single book of lamentation and remembrance, its subject being Christopher Reid's wife, the actress Lucinda Gane, who died of cancer at the age of fifty-five. A Scatering was first published in the UK in 2009 to wide acclaim, winning the Costa Book of the Year Award. ... Pairing A Scatering for the first time with Anniversary, which was written to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Gane's death, this volume brings Reid into dialogue, again, with the wife he loved. A moving exploration of the stages of grief and how the 'weighty emptinesses' that remain after bereavement change us, A Scattering and Anniversary show us what it means to love, lose and - forever changed - continue on.
