"An extraordinary read, honest, intimate and lightly poetic. It is
a testament of love, loss and grief and also the often untold story
of those who are left behind and must find a way to go on"—Irish
Independent
"A book of exceptional grace... the most extraordinary account of
an emotional journey" – Observer
“All about love and loss…. An astonishing feat… I defy anyone
not to shed tears at least once when reading this book.” – Sunday
Times
“You Will Not Have My Hate is a courageous and profoundly life
affirming manifesto that will live beyond any momentary victory of
terrorism. How indestructible these beautiful words are… A
heartbreaking eulogy.” –New York Journal of Books
“In a world of anodyne literature, Antoine Leiris's You Will
Not Have My Hate stands out like a flare in the night… A work
of pure grace… Ultimately a book about language and its necessity
as a means not just of making sense of unspeakable tragedy, but of
surviving it.” — Interview Magazine
“Courageous and inspirational, without a wasted word.”
– Kirkus, starred review
“One of the most enduring and memorable messages after the deadly
attack on Paris's Bataclan theater was written by journalist
Antoine Leiris… This bracing, courageous, and utterly beautiful
book shows us that he had much more to say.” – 21 Must-Read Books
for Fall, Elle.com
“This powerful one-sitting read speaks of a very specific grief to
which many in the world feel connected.”—Booklist
