''Powerful, humane and deeply affecting, Lister''s wise and truthful writing makes this essential reading for anyone touched, and utterly confused, by grief.'' Sali Hughes''The must-read memoir'' RedWhat 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 Elements is a story of love, pain, hope and, ultimately, transformation.
