Summary

Based on the Mexican tradition of the Day of the Dead, Marion Winik both celebrates and mourns the people who have helped shape her life: 'the jeweller', 'the driving instructor', 'the bad influence' and many more - from her son's primary school teacher to Keith Haring. Known for the honesty that made her debut memoir, First Comes Love (Vintage, 1998), so riveting and powerful, Winik taps into the rich territory of her own life yet again to deliver a lyrical journey that is ultimately uplifting.
