Overview
A luminous memoir of love and grief from the author of Common People
Alison Light met the radical social historian, Raphael Samuel, in London in 1986. Twenty years her senior, Raphael was a charismatic figure on the British Left, utterly driven by his work and by a commitment to collective politics. Within a year they were married. Within ten, Raphael would be dead.
Theirs was an attraction of opposites - he from a Jewish Communist family with its roots in Russia and Eastern Europe, she from the English working class. In this chronicle of a passionate marriage, Alison Light peels back the layers of their time together, its intimacies and its estrangements.
She tells of moving into Raphaels cluttered eighteenth century house in Spitalfields and into his equally full, unconventional life; of the whirlwind of change outside their door which brutally transformed Londons old East End districts; of being widowed at 41, and finding inspiration in her friendship with Raphaels mother. Finally she reflects on the power of mourning and how it shapes a life.
Through its frank and touching account of a marriage between two very different people, it celebrates the capacity we all have to share our lives and to change our selves.
