Life, After RELEASED 03/02/2022 A moving account of single fatherhood in the wake of bereavement, by the acclaimed author of the international bestseller You Will Not Have My Hate Grief is a succession of transformations. You slough off your old skins, one by one. You constantly change. This is what time does to everybody, in normal circumstances. But in this particular case, the changes happened more quickly. Four years later, I can safely say that I am no longer the same man. The same is true for Melvil. He isn't a baby anymore, but a happy little boy. When Antoine Leiris lost his wife, Hélène, in the terrorist attack in Paris in 2015, he was left to care for their one-year-old son alone. Melvil is now five and in this moving, wry and honest book, Antoine talks about how they have both fared since that terrible day.
