What is The Cost Of Living about?
Dazzling, essential, entirely unlike anything else - a memoir on modern womanhood, rejecting oppressive social expectations and turning instead towards a thrilling, transformative freedom"Both memoir and feminist manifesto, her writing focuses so sharply on what it means to be alive that she's given me much-needed clarity... Levy subtly informs us about what it is to be a woman." - VogueWhat does it mean to be free - as an artist, a woman, a mother or daughter? And what is the price of that freedom?

Reflecting on the period when she wrote the Man Booker Prize-shortlisted Hot Milk - when her mother was dying, her daughters were leaving home, her marriage was coming to an end - she is characteristically eloquent on the social expectations and surreal realities of daily life. And expanding far beyond these bounds, she describes a uniquely frank, wise and thrilling manifesto for female experience: embracing the exhilarating terror of freedom, seeking to understand what that freedom could mean and how it might feel."This, from Deborah Le
