It was the year of Brexit and Trump and also the year when David Bowie died and Jo Cox was murdered and the Premier League was won by who? There was a lot to talk about.
 
‘Sarah Hesketh’s work is an epic for our times, composed of luminous fragments from the lives of the ordinary and less ordinary.’ – Sasha Dugdale

‘Encompassing the election of Trump, the Brexit vote, and the deaths of Jo Cox, David Bowie and Carrie Fisher – as well as the death of Hesketh’s own father - 2016 subtly builds into a moving study of grief, and the solace to be found in other people.’ – Clare Pollard
