We All Come Home Alive: A Life in Shocks

Autor Anna Beecher
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 ian 2025
We All Come Home Alive is the story of a life told through the moments which remade it - from car crashes to first kisses, from the stumbling magic of drunkenness to the tearing open of birth - to offer consolation and companionship, deep wisdom and luminous beauty.

'Intelligent, poised and emotionally exacting. Beecher's evocative essays on life's defining moments unpick how we might be made and remade by life'
Cal Flyn, author of Islands of Abandonment

Recenzii

A candid and lyrical reckoning that unites loss and joy. Wise and beautifully written
Extraordinary: messy and beautiful and true. It made me cry
Fierce and tender essays that made me feel that I too was more alive . . . Beecher's writing on pregnancy, labour and motherhood is searingly good, and the way she writes about loss and grief moved me to tears more than once
Intelligent, poised and emotionally exacting. Beecher's evocative essays on life's defining moments unpick how we might be made and remade by life
I could NOT put this down. We All Come Home Alive is an intricate and tender weave of girlhood, growing pains, and what it means to live inside our bodies. It's an utterly perfect book and Anna Beecher is a revelation
Anna Beecher's beautiful memoir, written partly in response to the death of her brother, describes in startling detail the highs and lows of existence . . . Beecher isa gifted writer with a knack forcapturing the exquisite detail of intense emotions without beingsentimental, and for rendering the familiar tropes of griefstartling . . . Pain, joy, love, fear: these are the gifts and burdens of life, and in this profoundly affecting book, Beecher has articulated them with precision and beauty
A bravely written and uplifting book, which locates power in the tiniest detail
What Beecher does truly brilliantly is paint vignettes of her past. The search for her husband's lost wedding ring, which a scuba diver miraculously scoops up from the silt and grime at the bottom of a deep rock pool is expertly recounted, and the graphic description she gives of her daughter's birth is gripping in its candidness
