DITCH THE WEEKEND PAPERS FOR THIS

The Last Good Funeral of the Year: A Memoir By Ed O'Loughlin

Author and journalist Ed O'Loughlin has just released his memoir. It was February 2020 when Ed heard that Charlotte, a young woman he'd known, had died. During the grieving process, he started to revaluate his life, his family and his career as a foreign correspondent. He came face to face with some truths he had been ignoring: that he was getting old, he wasn't what he used to be, and that his imagination had switched from coming up with dreams to obsessing over regrets.
