By the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in LiteratureMoving from revolutionary Zanzibar in the 1960s to restless London in the 1990s, Gravel Heart is a powerful story of exile, migration and betrayal, from the Booker Prize-shortlisted author of ParadiseSalim has always believed that his father does not want him. Living with his parents and his adored Uncle Amir in a house full of secrets, he is a bookish child, a dreamer haunted by night terrors.It is the 1970s and Zanzibar is changing. Tourists arrive, the island's white sands obscuring the memory of recent conflict: longed-for independence from British colonialism swiftly followed by bloody revolution. When his father moves out, retreating into dishevelled introspection, Salim is confused and ashamed. His mother explains neither this nor her absences with a strange man; silence is layered on silence.When glamorous Uncle Amir, now a senior diplomat, offers Salim an escape, the lonely teenager travels to London for college.

這本書是一本獨特、實用且充滿關懷的手冊，收集了許多經歷過喪妻或失去伴侶之痛的男性們的親身經歷、日常軼事與誠懇建議。作者 Jan Robinson 在丈夫突然驟逝後，開始向她所遇到的每一位寡婦詢問度過喪偶悲痛的建議，並將其集結成第一本書《Tips from Widows》。令她驚訝的是，那本書出版後不僅收到寡婦們的迴響，也收到許多鰥夫的求助與反饋。於是她進一步蒐集了男性們的經驗，推出了這本專門寫給喪偶男性的指南，幫助他們在面對巨大哀傷時找到前進的力量。With foreword by journalist Robert Peston When Jan Robinson's husband died suddenly and unexpectedly, she had the idea of asking any other widows, whenever and wherever she met them, for two tips about how to deal with widowhood. From this advice, she constructed her beautiful first volume, Tips from Widows. To Robinson's surprise, the book generated an overwhelming response not only from widows, but also from widowers.From these outpourings it became evident that a second book, this time for widowers, was inevitable. Grief is an unmanageable emotion and the form it takes is unique to every man whose wife or partner has died. There are no set rules about coping with loss.Some people struggle with it for years and maybe never get over it. Others manage to move on.
