A stunning collection of personal essays from one of New Zealand's most exciting new voices.

Childhood, family and death; anxiety and release; grief and the hope of new life: these are some of the themes that underpin Michelle Langstone's debut collection of personal essays.

Tender, poignant and moving but never sentimental, these elegant essays are perfectly formed and feature personal observations as well as those of the wider world.

Says Michelle: 'Mostly when I think about it, it feels like a collection of essays about living and dying. My life as it was before Dad left us, and after. They are as different as night and day, those two lives.'
