All At Sea

A Memoir

De: Decca Aitkenhead

Narrado por: Decca Aitkenhead

On a hot, still morning on a beautiful beach in Jamaica, Decca Aitkenhead's life changed forever. Her four-year-old son was paddling peacefully at the water's edge when a wave pulled him out to sea. Her partner, Tony, swam out and saved their son's life - then drowned before her eyes.

When Decca and Tony first met, a decade earlier, she was a renowned Guardian journalist profiling leading politicians of the day; he was a dreadlocked criminal with a history of drug dealing and violence. No one thought the romance would last, but it did - until the tide swept Tony away, plunging Decca into the dark chasm of random tragedy.

Exploring race and redemption, privilege and prejudice, All at Sea is a breathtakingly honest, profound, and utterly unforgettable memoir.

Favorite book this year!!!!

So many emotions- love, sadness, humor. Three narration was poignant. So relatable, yet so unimaginable.

Brilliant!

Raw and with beautiful, witty prose, this is one of my favorite books this year. The author’s narration is extraordinary and it feels like one of your best mates is sharing her story directly with you.
