Summary
Random House presents the audiobook edition of A Moment of Grace by Patrick Dillon, read by David Rintoul.
How do you learn to live in the wake of death?
Patrick Dillon and Nicola Thorold were together for 28 years. Patrick was an award-winning architect and writer and Nicola a leading figure in theatre, awarded an OBE for her contribution to the arts at London’s Roundhouse. Their two children were almost grown up. Life was good.
And then, in May 2015, Nicola was diagnosed with leukaemia. After several rounds of treatment, a bone marrow transplant and many waves of recovery and decline, she died 13 months after her diagnosis. Six months later, at Christmas, Patrick started to write.
A Moment of Grace is the searing, tender account of Patrick’s life with Nicola and her illness, and his life after her loss. But it is more than a story of illness and unbearable grief: it is a book of memory, of home, of family. It is a tale of the transfiguring power of love. Heartbreaking, life-affirming and truly unforgettable, A Moment of Grace is one man’s journey to find life after his wife’s death.
