Lisa Ray Instagram – Posted @withregram • @jilpanz ‘The honesty, wisdom and pain of this writing add up to something very important: truth. Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi writes with unflinching truth about the unbearable, and thus makes it, at least, comprehensible’ – Salman Rushdie, author of Midnight’s Children What does it mean to lose someone? To answer this timeless question, bestselling author Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi draws on a string of devastating personal losses of his mother, of his father and of a beloved pet to craft a moving memoir of death and grief. With surgical detachment and subtle feeling, Shanghvi charts the landscape of bereavement as he takes the reader down the dark, winding path to healing. Clear-eyed and intimate, Loss is the first Volume of non-fiction by one of India’s most beloved writer of life experience. Loss is a finely tuned reflection on the death of parents, the effects of orphaning, a sustained search in which you’ll hear echoes of your own relationship with death and parents because at each moment Shanghvi opens outward toward vision instead of remaining mired in sorrow. You’ll be delighted by the flexibility and turns of an elegant mind’ – David Vann, author of Legend of a Suicide We are in the midst of extraordinary grief ~ from helplessness, desperation, insecurity and loss. Books have often offered solace. @thepostcarder
