All at Sea: A Memoir

A beautifully written, breathtakingly honest, unsentimental, and profound memoir from one of the UKâ€™s most popular journalists.
Â
On a hot, still morning on a beautiful beach in Jamaica, DeccaÂ Aitkenheadâ€™s life changed forever. Her four-year-old son was paddling peacefullyÂ at the waterâ€™s edge when a wave pulled him outÂ to sea. Her partner, Tony, swam out and savedÂ their sonâ€™s lifeâ€”then drowned before her eyes.
Â Â Â When Decca and Tony first met, a decade earlier, she was a renowned Guardian journalist profiling leading politicians of the day; he was a dreadlocked criminal with a history of drug dealing and violence. No one thought the romance would last, but it didâ€”until the tide swept Tony away, plunging Decca into the dark chasm of random tragedy.
Â Â Â Exploring race and redemption, privilege and prejudice, All at Sea is a remarkable story of love and loss, of how one couple changed each otherâ€™s life, and of what a sudden death can do to the people who survive.
