Winner of the Wellcome Prize

A finalist for the Samuel Johnson Prize and the Costa Award

"A memoir quite unlike any other. It has the strength of an arrow: taut, spiked, quavering, working to its fatal conclusion...an extraordinary story told in an extraordinary way."--The Sunday Times

"The most heartbreaking memoir of the year."--Independent on Sunday

Winner of the Wellcome Book Prize, and finalist for every major nonfiction award in the UK, including the Samuel Johnson Prize and the Costa Award, The Iceberg is artist and writer Marion Coutts' astonishing memoir; an "adventure of being and dying "and a compelling, poetic meditation on family, love, and language.

In 2008, Tom Lubbach, the chief art critic for The Independent was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The Iceberg is his wife, Marion Coutts', fierce, exquisite account of the two years leading up to his death. In spare, breathtaking prose, Coutts conveys the intolerable and, alongside their two year old son Ev--whose language is developing as Tom's is disappearing--Marion and Tom lovingly weather the storm together. In short bursts of exquisitely textured prose, The Iceberg becomes a singular work of art and an uplifting and universal story of endurance in the face of loss.

Discreet and useful!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 8)
These travel wipes are honestly perfect for keeping in a purse, backpack, or even in a pocket. The packs are super compact and discreet, which is perfect for work. The packaging is also quiet. but still stay moist, which is hard to find with travel wipes. They feel gentle and don’t irritate sensitive skin. The wipes themselves are soft but durable enough to actually use without tearing apart. The 6 pack is the perfect size and the wipes are full sized

I keep these in my desk at work and I love them. No noticeable scent, compact & discreet, easy to open & use. They’re soft, strong (no rips), clean well, and leave you feeling fresh. No issues with flushing.

Pleasantly surprised and enjoy the product!
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 8)
Alright, these things have been working great for at work. I occasionally need to go at work which I dislike due to me not being able to wipe and feel clean. Well, not anymore. These are compact enough to fit well in my pocket (female pocket btw, iykyk) and I can take my trip to the bathroom hands free. You of course can put it in a little pouch or tuck it into your waistband. This has come in handy and I now have 2 packs left (don't try to math my poops or wipes per poop lol you creep) I will definitely repurchase in the future, and I will take these with me on other travel trips due to the compact size and ease of use. For fellow women, this easily fits into an average purse. The wipe itself is decent size as well and not worthless like some others. Ripping has not been a problem for me and hopefully won't ever be lol. I have experienced no skin issues or irritation with it. Each wipe has decent moisture to be a wet wipe as well.

Compact, Gentle Wipes That Are Perfect for Travel
Scent: Unscented, Size: 6 Count (Pack of 8)
These wipes are so convenient for travel or keeping in a bag for everyday use. The compact packaging makes them easy to carry without taking up space, which is great when you are trying to pack light or stay organized. They are also very soft and gentle, which makes them suitable for sensitive skin. I like that they are mostly water based with aloe, so they feel clean and refreshing without being harsh or overly scented. They are easy to use on the go and give peace of mind when you do not have access to a full bathroom setup. Overall they are a simple, practical essential that is great to have on hand when traveling or out and about.
