A moving account of single fatherhood in the wake of bereavement, by the author of the international bestseller You Will Not Have My Hate When Antoine Leiris lost his wife, Hľn̈e, in a terrorist attack in Paris, he was left to care for their baby alone. His son is now five and in this wry and honest book, Antoine talks about how they have both fared since that terrible day. Grief is a succession of transformations. You constantly change. This is what time does to everybody, in normal circumstances. But in this particular case, the changes happened more quickly. Four years later, I am no longer the same man. The same is true for Melvil. He isn't a baby anymore, but a happy little boy. Life, After follows a single father learning how to create a happy home for his son.
