a life

My husband, Michael Bonner, died suddenly and unexpectedly on May 24, 2019, a few hours after I spoke with him from Italy. Because his death was discovered only

the following afternoon, the official date is May 25. I was told on the 26, on a gloomy and wintry Sunday morning in the northwestern Alps. Michael's passion was

classical music, which he knew profoundly. He played the violin and the viola, most often in quartets. He was a historian of the formative period of Islam. We were

married for 29 years. Initially, this project was a way to preserve and share his life through the objects which embodied his soul, his mind, his skills, and his wit. Now it

narrates both his life and my grief. ​
