'Three bicycles. Seven ghosts. A crumbling apartment block on the hill.
Fame. Tenderness. The statue of Peter Pan.
Silk. Melancholy. The banana tree.
A Pandemic. A love story. 'From one of the great thinkers and writers of

Levy's critically acclaimed 'Living Autobiography ''I can't think of any
writer aside from Virginia Woolf who writes better about what it is to
be a woman' Observer on The Cost of Living. Following the international
critical acclaim of The Cost of Living, this final volume of Deborah
Levy's 'Living Autobiography' is an exhilarating, thought-provoking and
boldly intimate meditation on home and the spectres that haunt it. 'I

'Wise, subtle and ironic, Levy's every sentence is a masterpiece of
clarity and poise...
