Vessels: A Love Story
English
By (author): Daniel Raeburn
When Dan, a writer with a passion for underground comics, and his wife Bekah, a potter dedicated to traditional Japanese ceramics, met through a mutual friend, they swiftly fell in love. Of all the women Ive ever met, Dan told a friend, shes the first one who felt like family. But at Christmas, as they prepared for the birth of their first child, tragedy struck.
Based on Daniel Raeburns acclaimed New Yorker essay, Vessels: A Love Story is the story of how he and Bekah clashed and clung to each other through a series of unsuccessful pregnancies before finally, joyfully, becoming parents. In prose as handsomely unadorned as his wifes pottery, Raeburn recounts a marriage cemented by the same events that nearly broke it.
Vessels is an unflinching, enormously moving account of intimacy, endurance, and love.
