Description
Emma Forrest's memoir is an unflinching and deeply personal exploration of love, heartbreak, sex, and celibacy. After a life guided by romantic obsession, she makes the bold decision to turn her back on marriage and all romantic attachments.
The result is a story that is both shocking and welcome, as Forrest recounts her journey from the glamorous world of Hollywood to a simpler, more solitary existence in North London. With candour and wit, she reflects on what happens when our dreams don't quite live up to our expectations.
This memoir is a powerful exploration of identity, desire, and the complexities of being a woman. It's a story that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt the pull of romance, or struggled to find their place in the world.
