No dancing in the lift : a memoir
Sayer, Mandy, 1963-2025
Book
When Mandy Sayer learns of her father Gerry's diagnosis of terminal cancer, she faces a reckoning with past and future as she learns to navigate a precarious present. This is the joyous and nuanced account of her father's later life, his illness and the beautiful moments, music and memories of earlier times they share, yet it is also a fearless exploration of inescapable grief. And an unfurling story of new love. Most of us will face the death of a cherished parent, and we all know the euphoria of falling in love. But few of us will experience both at the same time. Mandy's clear-eyed memoir is an unforgettable love letter from a daughter to her father and a wife to her husband. No Dancing in the Lift is rich in intimate anecdotes begging to be shared. Evocative, funny, uplifting and heartbreaking, Mandy Sayer writes with a vivacious and lyrical grace.
