What does it mean to become a widow at 35?
In her mid-thirties Kat Lister lost her husband to brain cancer. After five years of being a wife and one of being a carer, in love and in and out of hospitals, she became a widow.
In the year following his death Kat seeks refuge in stories of grief and widowhood, but struggles to find a language that can make sense of her experience and the physicality of bereavement. Instead, she turns to the elements – fire, water, earth, air – on her quest to come to terms with her grief, to inhabit her body again, and to find out who she is now.
The Elementsis a story of love, pain, hope and, ultimately, transformation.

‘The

moving,
bruising
and
meditative
memoir
and
love
story
…
Beautifully
written,The
Elements,will
strike
a
chord
with

who’s
been
touched

grief.’
'Powerful, humane and deeply affecting, Lister's wise and truthful writing makes this essential reading for anyone touched, and utterly confused, by grief.'
'Strikingly honest'
‘A staggering book. Kat writes with such hypnotic lyricism.’
‘It knocked me for six: the honesty in it, the frankness, the detail, the research, the feeling, and such stunning writing … it’s not just about losing someone. It’s about rebuilding.’
‘The writing will make you stop to catch your breath, it’s hopeful in ways you won’t expect at all, and the smallest moments will break your heart.’
'It is lyrical. It is wise. It is physical in its longing ... Destined to become a classic.The Elementsis a gift; not so much a map but a compass, to a landscape we long not to visit but many of us do.'
‘A stunning and immersive examination of grief; of making a new future; the body as a site of “wrongness” and “re-entry” after bereavement … it veers from melancholy to rage and joy.’
‘It is not just one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read, exploring grief through the elements of the cosmos, it is the only book I’ve read that has made me feel less alone. A must read even if it’s not your own experience.’
