Other Lives But Mine by Emmanuel Carrere
In Sri Lanka, a tsunami sweeps a child out to sea, her grandfather helpless against the onrushing water. In France, a young woman succumbs to illness, leaving her husband and small children bereft. Present at both events, the author sets out to tell the story of two families - shattered and ultimately restored.
As a storyteller Carrère is so freakishly talented, so unassuming in grace and power that you only realise the hold he's got on you when you attempt to pull away-- Junot Díaz
Never a showy writer, Carrère has the gift of speaking simply and directly of the essentials. It makes his level tone completely compelling -- David Sexton * Evening Standard *
