All at Sea

Nonfiction by Decca Aitkenhead

Another memoir. I read this right after Heather Harpham's Happiness, and couldn't help comparing the two.

This story is also about an artistic-type woman who is a later-in-life mother of two young children, and she seemed similar to Heather in personality. But Decca has a very different story.

Decca is on holiday with her family at the seaside and her three-year-old son Jake swims out too far in the ocean. Her partner Tony goes out to save his son, and drowns in the process. It's a shocking thing.

This was a pretty good memoir too, but not quite as good as the other.
