Just what we need in times like these.' - Diana Wichtel   'Evocative, lyrical, surprising, Times Like These is built from a heart that bursts out of every page.' - Toby Manhire   Childhood, family, and death; anxiety and release; grief and the hope of new life: these are some of the themes that underpin Michelle Langstone's debut collection.    Michelle is interested in the way the concept of identity is shaken during a major event, and in the feeling world at its most raw and intimate. These essays speak to one another across a timeline, examining her world before the death of her father, and life after his passing, when she recalibrates the shape of a universe without him. Essays on acting, fertility and IVF, and intergenerational love round out a collection that is full of candour and humour.    Tender, poignant and moving, these intimate essays are perfectly formed and offer a shimmering portrait of the human condition.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49899003642129,"sku":"GOR013809978","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1988547520.jpg?v=1759230069"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-michelle-langstone.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
