Deborah Levy Cost of Living

Annotation

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Cost of Living by Deborah Levy.A Guardian Best Book of the 21st Century'Life falls apart. We try to get a grip. We try to hold it together. And then we realize that we don't want to hold it together...'Picking up where Things I Don't Want to Know left off, this short, exhilarating memoir shows a writer in radical flux, facing separation and bereavement, and emerging renewed from the ashes of a former life. Faced with the restrictions of conventional living, she dismantles her life, expands it and puts it back together in a new shape. Writing as brilliantly as ever about mothers and daughters, about social pressures and the female experience, Deborah Levy confronts a world not designed to accommodate difficult women and ultimately remakes herself in her own image.
