The powerful second memoir from the twice-Man Booker Prize-shortlisted
author of Hot Milk and Swimming Home 'Life falls apart. We try to get a
grip and hold it together. And then we realise we don't want to hold it
together . . .' 'At the age of 50 and after decades of north
London family-making, Levy finds herself cast adrift from her marriage
and, crucially, without any desire to swim back. It is the story of
every woman throughout history who has expended her love and labour on
making a home that turns out to serve the needs of everyone except
herself.
Wonderful. Not so much a memoir as an eloquent
manifesto for what Levy calls "a new way of living" ' Guardian' Wise,
subtle and ironic, Levy's every sentence is a masterpiece of clarity and
poise . .
