From the 2024 winner of the International Booker Prize, a collection of short essays on the places, people, rituals and objects that slip into the realm of memory.

A landmark investigation into how communities respond to disasters, and what we can learn from these displays of altruism and generosity in the face of adversity.

Published as a standalone on International Woman's Day, the essay that became a touchstone of the feminist movement and inspired the term 'mansplaining', with an afterword on its origins.
