`Extraordinarily powerful' Emma Thompson
There are a million love stories, and a million stories of addiction. This one is transcendent.
Louisa Young met Robert Lockhart when they were both 17. Their stop-start romance lasted decades, in which time he became a celebrated composer and she, an acclaimed novelist.
This is both a compelling portrait of a lifelong love affair, and an incredibly affecting guide to how the partner of a 'charismatic, infuriating, adorable, self-sabotaging' alcoholic can find the strength to survive when the disease rips both their lives apart.
`Rich and moving and beautifully written' The Times
`Spectacular. I can't stop thinking about it' Cathy Rentzenbrink
`Extraordinarily candid' Evening Standard
`Beautiful, and heartbreaking, and true' Sam Baker, The Pool
`Moving, harrowing and tirelessly empathetic' Daily Express
In this rich autobiography, Louisa Young, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delves into the depths of her personal relationships, painting a vivid picture of love, grief, and bereavement. The narrative is a testament to the strength of the human spirit, even in the face of death and the self-sabotaging nature of addiction.
For fans of Bernardine Evaristo (Manifesto), Joanna Cannon (Breaking & Mending), Rose Tremain (Rosie), Anita Moorjani (Dying To Be Me), and Victoria Cilliers (I Survived).
