A Tender Storm

The thing that nearly killed me is the thing that saved my life.

The borders reopen, and he goes back: to the heat of the building sites, to a room high above the river, to the work and the woman he thought he had left behind. But the body keeps its own accounts. There is illness in a foreign city, a visa forever running out, and the loneliness of the millions. Then, when everything else has failed, there is the kindness of strangers. It is a book about the storms that break us, and the tenderness with which they sometimes put us back together. Volume II of two, on Kindle, with selected plates.
