You Will Not Have My Hate by Antoine Leiris

dark emotional sad fast-paced

5.0

Such a beautiful read, it will surely become a classic. A reflection on grief and loss in a beautiful way, trying to navigate reality when everything feels lost. A father who has to play both parental roles for the first time. The triviality of other mourners. It is just gorgeous. As someone only recently experience grief myself this really helped me to understand my feelings, it is easily a 5 star read. 

“You don’t even have time to take stock of what’s happened to you before the parade of sorrys in black suits has already begun.”

“Clinging to our habits is a way of shutting out the terrible and the wonderful.”
