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.
