Delicacy: A Memoir about Cake and Death

by Katy Wix

After a death, for a while, you are less alive, but then, if you’re lucky, you will become more alive.

I’ve begun to accept the ordinariness of life: less romanticising, because apparently it’s bad for you, even though it feels so good.

‘I can’t go on, I’ll go on.’
