Description
Self-Contained Scenes from a Single Life by Emma John is a humorous and unflinching memoir about being single in your 40s. In this book, John explores what it means to be alone when everyone else isn't, addressing the societal expectations placed on women who are not married or partnered. John shares her experiences of navigating life as a lifelong singleton, from awkward group holidays to coming to terms with the possibility that she may never meet the right person. Along the way, she discovers that the biggest commitment is often to oneself, and that self-containment can be a powerful and liberating experience. This memoir offers a refreshingly honest look at what it means to be single in middle age, and is a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever felt like they don't fit into societal norms.
