Dazzling, essential, entirely unlike anything else — a memoir on modern womanhood, rejecting oppressive social expectations and turning instead towards a thrilling, transformative freedom
What does it mean to be free – as an artist, a woman, a mother or daughter? And what is the price of that freedom?
In this dazzling memoir, Deborah Levy confronts the essential questions of modern womanhood with humour, pragmatism, and profoundly resonant wisdom. Reflecting on the period when she wrote the Man Booker Prize-shortlisted Hot Milk – when her mother was dying, her daughters were leaving home, her marriage was coming to an end – she is characteristically eloquent on the social expectations and surreal realities of daily life. And expanding far beyond these bounds, she describes a uniquely frank, wise and thrilling manifesto for female experience: embracing the exhilarating terror of freedom, seeking to understand what that freedom could mean and how it might feel.
