I Loved Him From The Day He Died By Michael Harding

Michael Harding was 23 when his father died; a parent who was sometimes distant and aloof, yet had a profound effect on the writer’s life. In the summer of 2023, Harding took a short holiday in Spain, walking the Camino de Santiago, during which he began to unpack the long ago trauma of losing a father he never really knew, and, in the end, finding a father he never doubted. In this book, he examines how the parent shapes the child, and how the child, in turn, becomes a parent in the search for that which makes us whole – love.
