About this product

Product Information

'A cross between H is for Hawk and Wild, this beautifully written tale follows Fowler's travels through Eastern Europe after her fiance was killed by a jellyfish' Stylist 'A brave and necessary record of love, as beautiful as it is heartbreaking' Ann Patchett, author of Commonwealth 'A rich and absorbing memoir that shows the reader what it feels like to lose your future in a matter of seconds in a faraway land . . . Shannon learns to travel on, to get back in the ocean and to build a new life' Cathy Rentzenbrink, author of The Last Act of Love 'Gloriously rendered, beautifully written, but utterly devastating . . . an intimate and inspiring experience . . . balm to the soul, as well as being a necessary witness account of the blackest depths of grief' Viv Groskop, Observer In the summer of 2002, Shannon Leone Fowler was backpacking with her fiance Sean in Thailand. The couple were planning to return home after their excursion to the island of Koh Pha Ngan but their plans were devastated when a box jellyfish - the most venomous animal in the world - wrapped itself around Sean's legs, stinging and killing him in minutes. Rejecting the Thai authorities' attempt to label Sean's death as 'drunk drowning', Shannon accompanied his body home to his stunned family - a family to which she suddenly no longer belonged. Shattered, untethered and alone, Shannon set out on a journey to make sense of her loss. From contemplating the silence of Auschwitz to learning the rules for sitting shiva amid daily bombings in Israel, to finding humour and creativity in Sarajevo, a city still scarred by the recent war, Shannon charts a path through sorrow towards recovery. Traveling with Ghosts is a beautiful memorial to love and an intensely personal account of learning to live with grief. It is the story of a brave journey towards survival.

    It wa bit disappointing that the seller wouldn't reply to my questions about why the description said 'used good' and not what was wrong with it and why not mint, & offering to 'accept an offer' but didn't so I ended up paying full price and taking a chance. However, the vinyl was dispatched immediately and arrived before its expected delivery date, and was packaged securely in 2nd hand shipper. The quality of the vinyl cover was nr mint and vinyl mint so did match the appearance and I am happy.

    Have brought from them before and as always, carefully packaged and quick delivery. The book condition is immaculate. However in the description they failed to mention the book is written in Dutch! For the £14.09 was a complete waste of money for me. Haven't contacted the seller about my disappointment as my friend is Dutch and will be the proud owner of it. My advice would be as pictures are vague and description is standard is to contact the seller if in doubt! Otherwise they are efficient.

    The vinyl arrived quickly and was packaged very well, exceeding my expectations. I appreciate the seller's care. While the listing noted that the item was used, a more detailed description of its condition would have been beneficial. I believe the price was fair for an item in very good condition, but the item received was of slightly lower quality than expected. Overall, I am satisfied and would recommend this seller.
