COST OF LIVING (PB)

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 her mother was dying, her daughters were leaving home, her marriage was coming to an end - she is eloquent on the social expectations and surreal realities of daily life and expands far beyond these bounds.
