Über diesen Titel
When Abigail Thomas’s husband, Rich, was hit by a car, his brain shattered. Subject to rages, terrors, and hallucinations, he must live the rest of his life in an institution. He has no memory of what he did the hour, the day, the year before. This tragedy is the ground on which Abigail had to build a new life. How she built that life is a story of great courage and great change, of moving to a small country town, of a new family composed of three dogs, knitting, and friendship, of facing down guilt and discovering gratitude. It is also about her relationship with Rich, a man who lives in the eternal present, and the eerie poetry of his often uncanny perceptions. This wise, plainspoken, beautiful audiobook enacts the truth Abigail discovered in the five years since the accident: You might not find meaning in disaster, but you might, with effort, make something useful of it.
©2006 Abigail Thomas (P)2014 Audible, Inc.What moved me most were the unspoken things. The way guilt appears, not as an argument, but as a fact. The way she questions what care really means, without moralizing. The loneliness of someone whose mind has changed—and the mystery of how, even then, he knows her.
I kept rewinding to hear sentences again. They’re quiet. But they land. And underneath it all is her gift: to say everything without saying it.
A profound little book. I was touched. I am grateful.
A jewel of a memoir—clear, quiet, and devastating in its honesty
