Produktbeskrivelse

Finalist for the 2019 Kirkus Prize in Nonfiction Longlisted for the National Book Award for Translated Literature Longlisted for the 2020 PEN Translation Award An unflinchingly raw and lyrical exploration of a mother's grief and how it transforms her relationship to time, reality, and language. In March 2015, Naja Marie Aidt's twenty-five-year-old son, Carl, died in a tragic accident. When Death Takes Something from You Give It Back chronicles the few first years after that devastating phone call. It is at once a sober account of life after losing a child and an exploration of the language of poetry, loss, and love. Intensely moving, When Death Takes Something from You Give It Back explores what it is to be a family, what it is to love and lose, and what it is to treasure life in spite of death's indomitable resolve.
