What Does It Feel Like? by Sophie Kinsella Hardcover Book

Description: What Does It Feel Like? by Sophie Kinsella From #1 bestselling author Sophie Kinsella, an unforgettable story—by turns heartbreaking and life-affirming—of a renowned novelist facing a devastating diagnosis and learning to live and love anew. "The bravest book youll read all year."—Jodi Picoult"Only Sophie Kinsella can make you laugh like this while shes got you crying."—Taylor Jenkins Reid "What Does It Feel Like? is fiction, but it is my most autobiographical work to date. Eves story is my story."—Sophie Kinsella Eve is a successful novelist who wakes up one day in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. Her husband, never far from her side, explains that she has had an operation to remove the large, malignant tumor growing in her brain.As Eve learns to walk, talk, and write again—and as she wrestles with her diagnosis, and how and when to explain it to her beloved children—she begins to recall whats most important to her: long walks with her husbands hand clasped firmly around her own, family game nights, and always buying that dress when she sees it.Recounted in brief anecdotes, each one is an attempt to answer the type of impossible questions recognizable to anyone navigating the labyrinth of grief. This short, extraordinary novel is a celebration of life, shot through with warmth and humor—it will both break your heart and put it back together again."Why did I write such a personal book? I have always processed my life through writing. Hiding behind my fictional characters, I have always turned my own life into a narrative. It is my version of therapy, maybe. Writing is my happy place, and writing this book, although tough going at times, was immensely satisfying and therapeutic for me."—Sophie Kinsella FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Sophie Kinsella is a writer and former financial journalist.

And then I thought about the meaning of life. Its a little jewel of a book."—#1 New York Times bestselling author Jojo Moyes"Kinsella is a skillful storyteller. She doesnt front-load the narrative with exposition, instead parceling out information organically. . . . Most resonant is this books bravery—and its emotional honesty."—The Wall Street Journal"A powerful tale about love, life and grief . . . filled with poignant moments and Kinsellas signature charm."—Womans World"Only Sophie Kinsella can make you laugh like this while shes got you crying. What Does it Feel Like? is daring and original—both a breath of fresh air and a deeply courageous story. This is one of the gutsiest moves Ive seen from a writer in a long time. I could not put it down."—Taylor Jenkins Reid, #1 New York Times bestselling author"As writers we are told to write what we know—but there are some things people wish they never had to learn. Such is the case for Sophie Kinsella, whose new novel follows an author whose greatest asset—a creative brain—becomes her biggest liability when it develops a cancerous tumor. Hearing from the point of view of a novelist who has crafted so many stories but doesnt know how her own will end is raw, humbling, and tender. This is the bravest book youll read all year."—#1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult "What Does It Feel Like? is not the kind of book that uses silliness and joy to divert readers from their lives. But, in a sense, its a way for readers who have been rescued by Kinsella to repay her—to witness what shes gone through as she uses words to process her pain and search for catharsis."—The Washington Post "A beautiful love story, and a glowing beacon of hope in the midst of terrible darkness."—Bestselling author Jenny Colgan Details ISBN0593977564 Publisher Penguin Putnam Inc Year 2024 ISBN-13 9780593977569 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2024-10-08 Imprint Dial Press Inc.,U.S. Country of Publication United States Audience General US Release Date 2024-10-08 Author Sophie Kinsella Pages 144 DEWEY 823.914 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
