Simply surviving trauma - whether it be illness, abuse, grief, a family tragedy or any kind - takes everything we have. But what happens after, when you realise that surviving survival might be harder still? In three words I can sum up everything I ve learned about life. It goes on. These words from Robert Frost, which Megan Maurice first read as a teenager, became the only way for her to make sense of what came after she endured and survived treatment for cancer, which was traumatic and life-changing.After facing her mortality, and all the fear that brought not just for her but for her young daughter, Megan discovered that once the momentum of pure survival was gone, she had to deal with its aftermath - and there were no tools for that. No guidelines, no rule books.What she wanted to know was if she was meant to go on, how did she go on? The world around her had not changed, even if she had. There just didn t seem to be a place for her, so she made one. She went on to research trauma and recovery, and discuss lived experiences with many survivors - how they faced their darkest days and greatest worries.Megan has written the very manual she needed but couldn t find, and in the process has created a moving and illuminating portrait of not only the hardship of survival but its beauty too. For, when life goes on, there is so much to live for. A hugely compassionate book. Maurice writes with extraordinary beauty and clarity about the less explored side of getting on with things. Anna Spargo-Ryan, author of A KIND OF MAGIC Life Goes On is a thoughtful, clear-eyed examination of the aftermath of trauma. It is deeply personal and incredibly relatable. It shines a light into the dark corner of trauma and asks the all-important question of what now? Liz Ellis AO

Early one autumn afternoon in pursuit of an elusive book on her shelves, Susan Hill encountered dozens of others that she had never read, or forgotten she owned, or wanted to read for a second time. The discovery inspired her to embark on a year-long voyage through her books, forsaking new purchases in order to get to know her own collection again. A book which is left on a shelf for a decade is a dead thing, but it is also a chrysalis, packed with the potential to burst into new life. Wandering through her house that day, Hill s eyes were opened to how much of that life was stored in her home, neglected for years.

WINNER OF THE WALES BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2020SHORTLISTED FOR THE WAINWRIGHT PRIZE 2020__________________________ A moving story of love, tradition and landscape. Evening Standard, Books of the Year A moving, multilayered memoir... extraordinary, ambitious... its scope is immense. A book that is deep in riches. Simon Callow, Guardian A marvellous book... an uplifting tale of tranquillity sought and found in the nearest Britain gets to paradise.

Jay Griffiths __________________________A multi-layered memoir of love, acceptance, finding home and the redemptive power of nature.In 2006, Mike Parker and his partner Peredur were witnesses at the civil partnership of their friends Reg and George, the first in the small Welsh town of Machynlleth. Years later, when Reg and George died within a few weeks of each other, Mike and Peredur discovered that they had been left their home: a whitewashed house from the children s stories , buried deep within the hills.

Shortlisted for The Man Booker International Prize 2018 A Hungarian interpreter obsessed with waterfalls, at the edge of the abyss in his own mind, wanders the chaotic streets of Shanghai. A traveller, reeling from the sights and sounds of Varanasi, encounters a giant of a man on the banks of the Ganges ranting on the nature of a single drop of water. A child labourer in a Portuguese marble quarry wanders off from work one day into a surreal realm utterly alien from his daily toils. In The World Goes On, a narrator first speaks directly, tells twenty-one unforgettable stories, then bids farewell ( for here I would leave this earth and these stars, because I would take nothing with me ). As Laszlo Krasznahorkai himself explains: Each text is about drawing our attention away from this world, speeding our body toward annihilation, and immersing ourselves in a current of thought or a narrative... The World Goes On is another masterpiece by the winner of the 2015 Man Booker International Prize. The excitement of his writing, Adam Thirlwell proclaimed in the New York Review of Books, is that he has come up with his own original forms-there is nothing else like it in contemporary literature.

On the Black Hill is an elegantly written tale of identical twin brothers who grow up on a farm in rural Wales and never leave home. They till the rough soil and sleep in the same bed, touched only occasionally by the advances of the twentieth century. In depicting the lives of Benjamin and Lewis and their interactions with their small local community Chatwin comments movingly on the larger questions of human experience.

Named A Most Anticipated Book by: LitHub * Vulture * Time * A PW 2022 Holiday Gift Pick One of: Time s 100 Must-Read Books of 2022 * NPR s 2022 Books We Love Vulture s 10 Best Books of 2022 A Goodreads Readers Choice Award SemifinalistFrom acclaimed poet Franny Choi comes a poetry collection for the ends of worlds—past, present, and future. ChoiÂ’s third book features poems about historical and impending apocalypses, alongside musings on our responsibilities to each other and visions for our collective survival.Many have called our time dystopian. But The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On reminds us that apocalypse has already come in myriad ways for marginalized peoples.With lyric and tonal dexterity, these poems spin backwards and forwards in time--from Korean comfort women during World War II, to the precipice of climate crisis, to children wandering a museum in the future. These poems explore narrative distances and queer linearity, investigating on microscopic scales before soaring towards the universal. As she wrestles with the daily griefs and distances of this apocalyptic world, Choi also imagines what togetherness--between Black and Asian and other marginalized communities, between living organisms, between children of calamity and conquest--could look like. Bringing together Choi s signature speculative imagination with even greater musicality than her previous work, The World Keeps Ending, and the World Goes On ultimately charts new paths toward hope in the aftermaths, and visions for our collective survival.Â

Faysal receives a mysterious letter about the death of aunt he canâ ™t remember. Leaving his lover and his life in Europe behind, he returns to the village of his birth in Palestine and to his familyâ ™s extraordinary, deserted house, the palace on the higher hill. With a backdrop of violence and the permanent threat from settlers, Faysal wanders the once-lavish rooms as characters from the past return to shed light on his family story and on the story of his people.In beautiful, angry prose, Karim Kattan introduces us to an intimate Palestine of the imagination where dreams and nightmares are in constant conflict. With hints of One Hundred Years of Solitude and Brideshead Revisited, he gives a nuanced deeply moving vision of the tragedy of war and a picture of his homeland that feels entirely new to English-speaking readers.The book won the 2021 Prix des Cinq Continents de la Francophonie.
