An intelligent and profoundly moving book about friendship, loneliness and the enduring myth of romantic love - for fans of The Lonely City and The Cost of Living.
'A book to love and cherish'
Deborah Levy, author of The Cost of Living
'A beautiful writer and, just as important, a beautiful thinker'
Hanya Yanagihara, author of A Little Life
'Friendship is, in fact, as much the topic of this book as aloneness'
Sarah Bakewell, Guardian
At no time before have so many people lived alone, and never has loneliness been so widely or keenly felt. Why, in a society of individualists, is living alone perceived as a shameful failure? And can we ever be happy on our own?
'A heartfelt memoir on being single, living alone and the existential experience of loneliness'
Financial Times
'Romantic love, suggests the author, is the lone "grand narrative" to have survived seismic societal shifts in modern times . . . Hermits and intimacy, the taboo of loneliness and the consolation of friendship - all find their place in a meditation that nods to joy and adversity'
