5.0

I think many women reach their fifties and feel there has been a huge shift in their lives. Here Deborah Levy reflects on her life at this age, when her marriage has ended, her mother has died, and she has moved to a new apartment with her daughters. She explores what it is to be a woman untethered from her role, what it is to be by herself, what it is to start again.

It's empowering, beautiful and life affirming. Those all seem cliche comments but this book is really wonderful. Levy seems a very fun person, who delights in words and people; reading her work renewed my delight in these too.
