A Moment of Grace eAudiobook MP3

Random House presents the audiobook edition of A Moment of Grace by Patrick Dillon, read by David Rintoul. How do you learn to live in the wake of death?Patrick Dillon and Nicola Thorold were together for twenty-eight years.

Patrick was an award-winning architect and writer and Nicola a leading figure in theatre, awarded an OBE for her contribution to the arts at London's Roundhouse.

Their two children were almost grown-up. Life was good. And then, in May 2015, Nicola was diagnosed with leukaemia.

After several rounds of treatment, a bone marrow transplant and many waves of recovery and decline, she died thirteen months after her diagnosis.

Six months later, at Christmas, Patrick started to write. A Moment of Grace is the searing, tender account of Patrick's life with Nicola and her illness, and his life after her loss.

But it is more than a story of illness and unbearable grief: it is a book of memory, of home, of family.

It is a tale of the transfiguring power of love. Heartbreaking, life-affirming and truly unforgettable, A Moment of Grace is one man's journey to find life after his wife's death.
