Über diesen Titel

On the morning of December 26, 2004, on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, Sonali Deraniyagala lost her parents, her husband, and her two young sons in the tsunami she miraculously survived. In this brave and searingly frank memoir, she describes those first horrifying moments and her long journey since. She has written an engrossing, unsentimental, beautifully poised account: as she struggles through the first months following the tragedy, furiously clenched against a reality that she cannot face and cannot deny; and then, over the ensuing years, as she emerges reluctantly, slowly allowing her memory to take her back through the rich and joyous life she’s mourning, from her family’s home in London, to the birth of her children, to the year she met her English husband at Cambridge, to her childhood in Colombo; all the while learning the difficult balance between the almost unbearable reminders of her loss and the need to keep her family, somehow, still alive within her.

Kritikerstimmen

“Out of unimaginable loss comes an unimaginably powerful book. Wave is unflinching as it charts the depths of grief, but it's also, miraculously, a beautifully detailed meditation on the essence of happiness. I came away from this stunning book with a new appreciation of life’s daily gifts. I urge you to read Wave. You will not be the same person after you've finished.” (Will Schwalbe)
“ Wave is a haunting chronicle of love and horrifying loss. The heartfelt writing manages to render the absence of the loved ones - the void, and the pain of it - in such a beautiful way that what was lost emerges as a new life form, one whose flesh and sinew are memory, sorrow, and undying love.” (Abraham Verghese)

Great book about the fragility of life, survivors guilt and grief. Heart-wrenching and brutally honest.

A brutally honest book about loss

Intense. You will be right there with her, watching her lose all that mattered. Her writing is remarkable - a work of art I find. I was often torn by the beauty of her words, her descriptions, and the terror that they would evoke in me. We won’t ever know who gets to live or die. The randomness of life is portrayed in this book. I better start fiercely loving today. I don’t think that was her message but after reading this it is the only conclusion I can draw. HC read it beautifully.

Unsurvivable- and yet. She did survive.
