Ghosts By Daylight by Janine Di Giovanni
From award-winning journalist Janine di Giovanni a scorching memoir of love and loss
'Janine di Giovanni writes with unblinking courage about war, death, marriage, motherhood, loss, love, redemption, fear -- indeed, about all the world's most pressing risks and dangersShe has seen far more of life than the rest of us, so she knows more than we do --and yet she lays down her memoir with touching and deeply honest humility. Her writing here (as ever in her remarkable career) is a great and important achievement' * Elizabeth Gilbert *
'A profound and beautiful book about the two great human struggles: Love and War. That so much hope could shine through a story of such violence and destruction is testimony to the human spirit and, of course, the breathtaking clarity of Di Giovanni's prose. It is a brilliant book about things that concern us all' * Sebastian Junger *
‘Only a writer as tender and intuitive as Janine di Giovanni can offer herself as a witness to some of the world's most barbarous and nightmarish wars while also deconstructing the very private unraveling of a once-beautiful love story. Ghosts by Daylight, just like its author, is brave, heroically and elegantly told, and brutally honest' * Fatima Bhutto *
