'On Valentine’s Day, after a night of red wine and pasta and planning for their future, Natasha Sholl and her partner Rob went to bed. A few hours later, at the age of 27, his heart stopped.

'Found, Wanting tells the story of Natasha’s attempt to rebuild her life in the wake of Rob’s sudden death, stumbling through the grief landscape and colliding with the cultural assumptions about the ‘right way’ to grieve.

'It is a memoir about falling in love in the aftermath of loss, and what it means to build a life in the space that death leaves.

'Furious and passionate, bracingly honest and beautiful, Found, Wanting is above all, a memoir about living and making sense of the multitude of lives within us.'

1 An Ode to the Acknowledgements Page Natasha Sholl , 2020 single work
— Appears in: Kill Your Darlings [Online] , December 2020;

'I don’t remember when I first started reading the acknowledgements in books. Perhaps I always did, at a cursory level anyway. But there was a point when polite reading made way for full-blown obsession. Like a dirty little habit. Some days I feel like the acknowledgements should be in a sealed section, so eager is my anticipation to tear open the page.' (Introduction)
