From the author of the UK bestseller Bertie, May and Mrs Fish comes an unforgettable exploration of memory, loss, and human connection, with a foreword by Margaret Atwood.

In this collection of vivid portraits of the everyday, including Princess Diana's funeral, a 1960s James Brown concert, a bus ride through Wales, a hospital stay, and much more, Xandra Bingley reveals the fleeting transience of human life.

"Ways of Telling isn't like any other book. Is it social reportage, the eye at the keyhole, the war at the door? It is its own thing."—Margaret Atwood

"Fractured, haunting, intimate and totally original, Ways of Telling knocked the breath out of me. It's dangerously exact, wilfully ambitious, wild in its scope and perfect in its precision." —Olivia Laing

"A sharp, wise and knowing eye, combined with a rare delicacy of prose — this is unlike anything else you will have read. An absolute treat." —Andrew Marr
