Dear Village Things In Nature Merely Grow $32.99
Things In Nature Merely Grow  'One of the most important books to be published in years' SARA COLLINS  'There are few writers with Li’s power' DOUGLAS STUART  'I will return to it for the rest of my life' CHARLOTTE WOOD  A remarkable, defiant work of radical acceptance from acclaimed Pulitzer Prize finalist Yiyun Li as she considers the loss of her son James.  'There is no good way to say this,' Yiyun Li writes at the beginning of this book.  'There is no good way to state these facts, which must be acknowledged. My husband and I had two children and lost them both: Vincent in 2017, at sixteen, James in 2024, at nineteen. Both chose suicide, and both died not far from home.'  There is no good way to say this – because words fall short. It takes only an instant for death to become fact, 'a single point in a timeline'. Living now on this single point, Li turns to thinking and reasoning and searching for words that might hold a place for James. Li does what she can: including not just writing but gardening, reading Camus and Wittgenstein, learning the piano, and living thinkingly alongside death.  This is a book for James, but it is not a book about grieving. As Li writes, 'The verb that does not die is to be. Vincent was and is and will always be Vincent. James was and is and will always be James. We were and are and will always be their parents. There is no now and then, now and later, only, now and now and now and now.' Things in Nature Merely Grow is a testament to Li’s indomitable spirit.  As seen in the New Yorker, Vanity Fair, LA Times, TIME, and the Paris Review.  'To state that this courageous book is a testament to love is an understatement. One is left altered by it' OBSERVER  'A story of loss that is unlike any other book I've read … an unforgettable monument to endurance' SUNDAY TIMES  'Resolutely unsentimental, and yet it might wind you with its emotional force' GUARDIAN  'A memoir unlike others, strange and profound and fiercely determined not to look away' NEW YORK TIMES  'An extraordinary book’ SARAH MOSS  'A manifesto of living, not dying, and of how we endure the most unimaginable things' SINÉAD GLEESON, in THE WEEK  'A profound look at how a parent continues to live in a world without her children’ TIME  ‘Li’s astonishing record of how she has chosen acceptance over despair' LA TIMES  ‘A book unlike any I've read, that brims with rare clarity and intelligence, with love and care. It will stay with me for a long time’ CECILE PIN

Did the glittering gold dress she wanted to be buried in need to be ironed? And would it hurt to enter the wormhole of death?As Chrisoula's dementia progressed, her adult children, Spiri and Dennis, grappled with guilt, sadness and fatigue as they fumbled their way from one bewildering symptom and care system to the next. But their mother had given them some very special gifts to draw on at this time and which they could use long after she was gone.In this compelling tribute to her mother, Spiri shares these gifts, along with some practical no-nonsense 'golden nuggets' on dealing with the challenges of diagnosis, living with dementia and coping with grief. Twelve Golden Gifts is a must-read for those looking after a declining loved one and for anyone who is moved by a beautiful - and funny - love story.
