About the book

INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
AN OBSERVER DEBUT OF 2022
AS FEATURED ON FRONT ROW

’Incredibly moving. Exquisitely crafted." BONNIE GARMUS, author of Lessons in Chemistry

When we go through something impossible, someone, or something, will help us, if we let them . . .

It is October 1966 and William Lavery is having the night of his life at his first black-tie do. But, as the evening unfolds, news hits of a landslide at a coal mine. It has buried a school: Aberfan.

William decides he must act, so he stands and volunteers to attend. It will be his first job as an embalmer, and it will be one he never forgets.

His work that night will force him to think about the little boy he was, and the losses he has worked so hard to forget. But compassion can have surprising consequences, because – as William discovers – giving so much to others can sometimes help us heal ourselves.

Please note, if you do not include a library or school name and use a personal email address your order will be cancelled.

The publisher will be dispatching your resources. They will receive a dispatch list with your contact name and work address (which you give) for delivery. They will only deliver the pack requested and the dispatch list will then be deleted after the packs have been sent.

Place a free order by 16 January but they may sell out before this.

Orders are strictly one pack per public library. If you are ordering an additional pack for a library in your region, you should contact Chris Moore.
