In France, a woman succumbs to cancer, leaving a hole in the lives of her loved ones. Present at both events is Emmanuel Carrère, who sets out to tell the story of two families shattered and ultimately restored. What he accomplishes is nothing short of a literary miracle: a heartrending narrative of endless love, a meditation on courage and decency in the face of adversity, and an intimate and reverent look at the extraordinary beauty and nobility of ordinary lives. As he tells the stories of those touched by loss--most memorably, an unsentimental, one-legged judge who has made a career of fighting for France's most vulnerable--Carrère himself, a longtime chronicler of his own tormented psyche, unexpectedly finds consolation and fulfillment in immersing himself in the lives of others.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEmmanuel Carrère, \u003c\/b\u003eborn in Paris in 1957, is a novelist, journalist, screenwriter, and film producer.
