'I have friends and family, I am in this wonderful country, I have money, there is nothing much wrong with me except I am dying.'
NUALA, adapted from the novel Every Single Minute, is an uplifting and heartbreaking account of Irish writer Nuala O'Faoláin's trip to Berlin the month before she passed away from cancer-a story of a candid friendship, memory and intent.
'Hamilton's story, a slightly fictionalised account of his 2008 trip to the city with the dying Nuala O'Faoláin, is a tender one. Ordinary moments take on great significance in this tale, which is as much about living in the moment as it is about revisiting the past' - Belinda Smith, Sunday Times
'Hamilton's warm attentiveness makes this a loving homage to an indomitable woman' - Metro
'A world not only haunted by death, but also by beauty and the strangeness of being alive' - Colm Tóibín
