'Great was the bitterness' of the loss of our father, says the author of the book. The book is about the life and death of his father, who was killed in a car crash in 1968.
The author, who is now in his 60s, says his father's memory will live on in his children's memories and in the memory of the people he left behind. He says the book is a tribute to his father and to all the men and women who have lost their fathers.
