A personal and powerful essay on loss from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the bestselling author of Americanah and Half of a Yellow Sun.
'Grief is a cruel kind of education. You learn how ungentle mourning can be, how full of anger. You learn how glib condolences can feel. You learn how much grief is about language, the failure of language and the grasping for language'
On 10 June 2020, the scholar James Nwoye Adichie died suddenly in Nigeria.
In this tender and powerful essay, expanded from the original New Yorker text, his daughter, a self-confessed daddy's girl, remembers her beloved father. Notes on Grief is at once a tribute to a long life of grace and wisdom, the story of a daughter's fierce love for a parent, and a revealing examination of the layers of loss and the nature of grief.
In Notes on Grief, Adichie, the Sunday Times bestselling author, offers a deeply personal and social perspective on death and dying. This collection of essays is a profound exploration of grief, fatherhood, and the intricate dynamics of family relationships.
For fans of Chinua Achebe (There Was a Country), Maya Angelou (All God's Children Need Travelling Shoes), Zadie Smith (Intimations), Bernardine Evaristo (Manifesto), and Cariad Lloyd (You Are Not Alone).
