Krátky popis
A luminous memoir of love and grief from the author of Common
PeopleAlison Light met the radical social historian, Raphael
Samuel, in London in 1986. Twenty years her senior, Raphael was a
charismatic figure on the British Left, utterly driven by his work
and by a commitment to collective politics. Within a year they were
married.Within ten, Raphael would be dead. Theirs was an attraction
of opposites - he from a Jewish Communist family with its roots in
Russia and Eastern Europe, she from the English working class. In
this chronicle of a passionate marriage, Alison Light peels back
the layers of their time together, its intimacies and its
estrangements.She tells of moving into Raphael's cluttered
18th-century house in Spitalfields and into his equally full,
unconventional life, of the whirlwind of change outside their door
which brutally transformed London's old East End districts, of
being widowed at 41, and finding inspiration in her friendship with
Raphael's mother. Finally she reflects on the power of mourning and
how it shapes a life. Through its frank and touching account of a
marriage between two very different people, it celebrates the
capacity we all have to share our lives and to change our selves.
