Clover Stroud’s sister Nell Gifford (founder of Gifford’s Circus) died of breast cancer, aged forty-six. Just days before, she had been given years to live. Her sudden death split Clover’s life apart. The Red of My Blood charts her passage through the first devastating year after her sister’s death. It is a profoundly moving account of what life feels like when death interrupts it, about bearing the unbearable and yet also a celebration of the magical way in which death and life exist beside one another, and the simple wonder of being human.
