But on a remote island, off the coast of County Mayo, it has a louder voice. The local radio station runs a thrice-daily roll-call of the recently departed. The islanders keep vigil with the corpse and share in the sorrow of the bereaved. The living and the dead are bound together in the oldest rite of humanity. In \u003ci\u003eMy Father's Wake, \u003c\/i\u003eKevin Toolis gives an intimate, eye-witness account of the death and wake of his father, celebrating the spiritual depth of the Irish Wake and asking if we too can find a better way to deal with our mortality, by living and loving in the acceptance of death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 274g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 174 x 173 x 22 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781474605243\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kevin Toolis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44097758560506,"sku":"9781474605243","price":6.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/2f179cf7ca97dd82c67cecfb313eaca9.jpg?v=1631499791","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/my-fathers-wake-how-the-irish-teach-us-to-live-love-and-die","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
