Channeling her poetic sensibilities into a rich, lucid price, Alexander tells a love story that is, itself, a story of loss. As she reflects on the beauty of her married life, the trauma resulting from her husband's death, and the solace found in caring for her two teenage sons, Alexander universalizes a very personal quest for meaning and acceptance in the wake of loss.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Light of the World\u003c\/i\u003e is at once an endlessly compelling memoir and a deeply felt meditation on the blessings of love, family, art, and community. It is also a lyrical celebration of a life well-lived and a paean to the priceless gift of human companionship. For those who have loved and lost, or for anyone who cares what matters most, \u003ci\u003eThe Light of the World\u003c\/i\u003e is required reading.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Light of the World: A Memoir | Elizabeth Alexander | Hardcover | 9781455599875 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks I 1753644","offer_id":49002215145624,"sku":"1753644","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91WIoiKpl9L.jpg?v=1778256400","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/light-of-the-world-a-memoir","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
