'Weetman writes movingly and at times with disarming candour about the before, the during and the after ... It's a beautiful book.' The Age<br/>'The relentless onward surge of life carries [Weetman] forward but she pauses to create this heartfelt, moving meditation on grief and loss.' The Courier-Mail<br/>'Heartbreakingly gorgeous ... this book is so beautifully, seamlessly written.' The New Daily<br/>'A generous and open book ... While Love, Death and Other Scenes germinated as a way to process her loss, Weetman does not only give us loss - her book is threaded through with promise and hope.' The Conversation<br/><br/><b>Nova Weetman's unforgettable memoir reflects on experiences of love and loss from throughout her life, including: losing her beloved partner, playwright Aidan Fennessy, during the 2020 Covid lockdown; the death of her mother ten years earlier; her daughter turning eighteen and finishing school; and her own physical ageing. Using these events as a lens, Nova considers how various kinds of losses - and the complicated love they represent - change us and can become the catalysts for letting go.</b><br/><br/><b>This is a moving, honest account of farewelling a partner of twenty-five years, parenting teenagers through grief, buying property for the first time at the age of fifty, watching Aidan live on through his plays, and learning to appreciate spending hours alone with only the household cat for company. Warm and wise - and often joyful - <i>Love, Death &amp; Other Scenes</i> ultimately focuses on the living we do after losses and what we learn from them.</b><br/><br/>
