´Michel Faber addressed these love poems to his wife after her death. They are lucid, tender and wise, and they pulse with this fine writer´s intelligence´ - Ian McEwan
How can you say goodbye to the love of your life?

In Undying Michel Faber honours the memory of his wife, who died after a six-year battle with cancer. Bright, tragic and candid, these poems are an exceptional chronicle of what it means to find the love of your life. And what it is like to have to say goodbye.

All I can do, in what remains of my brief time,
is mention, to whoever cares to listen,
that a woman once existed, who was kind
and beautiful and brave, and I will not forget
how the world was altered, beyond recognition,
when we met.
Beautiful and deeply moving . . . a story of courage and the persistence of hope even in the darkest times Allan Massie Scotsman
