review 1: Just beautiful -- this expression and exploration of grief and the process of healing, or 'unravelling' is poetic and honest, and the Polaroids sweet and stunning by turns. It's written primarily for the American market but Susannah's 'Englishness' shines through as does her fluent writing style, her incredible insight and her artistry. There are so many truths in this book, whole paragraphs I wanted to read aloud to myself or transcribe, notably words about the security of being alone, the comfort of one's own company... Aaaargh. Loved it. This is a book I shall keep close to my side and to my heart for years to come.
review 2: I admire Susannah's honesty and willingness to search deep in herself for answers after going through such a tragic loss. However I ex... morepected the book to be a little more about how we, the readers, can engage with the world, notice things, appreciate life, take photos, open our senses, etc - ESPECIALLY since in the beginning of the book she states that "this is not a book about grieving or loss" and then goes on to spend about half the book talking about exactly those subjects. I love her contributions to The Simple Things magazine and was hoping to find more of that here, but this book wasn't nearly as inspiring. less
