On the morning of Dec 26, 2004, on the southern shoreline of Sri Lanka, Sonali Deraniyagala lost her parents, her partner, and her two young sons in the tsunami she miraculously survived. In this particular fearless and searingly frank memoir, she explains those first horrifying moments and her long quest since. She's written an engrossing, unsentimental, attractively poised consideration: as she challenges through the first weeks following the tragedy, furiously clenched against a reality that she cannot face and cannot deny; and then, in the ensuing years, as she emerges reluctantly, slowly allowing her ram to consider her back again through the rich and joyous life she's mourning, from her family's home in London, to the beginning of her children, to the entire year she attained her English partner at Cambridge, to her childhood in Colombo; even while learning the difficult balance between the almost intolerable reminders of her loss and the need to keep her family, somehow, still alive within her.
