India, May 3 -- In the summer of 2021, India was hit by the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. Hospitals ran out of oxygen; the death count kept rising. In that cruel summer, Andaleeb Wajid lost her mother-in-law. Five days later, she lost her husband. She was then hospitalised with Covid herself. Wajid's grief struggled to find words as she returned to a home shorn of the love that had filled it. She struggled to make sense of the world she and her two children now inhabited. Wajid finally turned to her writing, to make sense of it all. She found herself wanting to tell the story of her loss. She chronicled her family life, growing up as a cherished daughter to a father whom she also lost too soon. She wrote about her marriage and the happy companionship that marked it. She described the joys and pain of motherhood. Learning to Make Tea for One is her journey through grief, told with truth and courage, looking death squarely in the face. It is a story that will deeply touch anyone who has faced loss and pain....
