<p><b>'The book I've been waiting for my entire life' </b><b>DOLLY ALDERTON</b><br><br><b><i>Is it possible that life without romantic love isn't so bad?</i></b><br><br>When poet Amy Key was growing up, she looked forward to a life shaped by romance, fuelled by desire, longing and the conventional markers of success that come when you share a life with another person. But that didn't happen for her. Now in her forties, she sets out to explore the realities of a life lived in the absence of romantic love.<br><br>Using Joni Mitchell's seminal album <i>Blue</i> - which shaped Key's expectations of love - as an anchor, <i>Arrangements in Blue</i> elegantly honours a life lived completely by, and for, oneself.<br>Building a home, travelling alone, choosing whether to be a mother, recognising her own milestones, learning the limits of self-care and the expansive potential of self-friendship, Key uncovers the many forms of connection and care that often go unnoticed.<br><br>With profound candour and intimacy, <i>Arrangements in Blue</i> explores the painful feelings we are usually too ashamed to discuss: loneliness, envy, grief and failure.<br><br><b> The result is a book which inspires us to live and love more honestly.</b><br><br><b>**A <i>SUNDAY TIMES</i> AND <i>INDEPENDENT</i> BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023***</b><br><br><b>'Marks an important shift in ideas about intimacy'</b> <b><i>OBSERVER</i></b></p>
