'I'm not exaggerating when I say this novel challenged everything I thought I knew about love and friendship. It's one of those books that stays with you forever.' – Dua Lipa
The million-copy bestseller, Hanya Yanagihara's A Little Life, by the author of To Paradise, is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and the limits of human endurance.
Winner of Fiction of the Year at the British Book Awards Shortlisted for the Booker Prize Shortlisted for the Women's Prize Finalist for the US National Book Award for Fiction
When four graduates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their centre of gravity.
Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he'll not only be unable to overcome – but that will define his life forever.
'Yanagihara takes you so deeply into the lives and minds of these characters that you struggle to leave them behind.' – The Times

TRAUMA That is what this book was and what it caused me after making me cry for a month. !Read trigger warnings before starting!BEAUTIFUL TRAGICWORTHWHILEIt’s a unique story, with unique characters you can’t help but attach to and sympathize with. By the middle of the book you feel like you know them, not only barely but deeply and intimately. I felt like I experienced a few different lives and that was priceless. If you feel emotionally stable or want a good cry (maybe more than one time), please give the book a chance. Sending only love and warmth to those suffering.

I can’t finish it. It’s absolutely devastating and sad and there is just so much pain in every chapter. It’s beautifully written and narrated, but it’s too much…

You have to be mentally prepared before reading this book. It's a masterpiece without any doubt but it's such a hard read. The author makes you love every character and then breaks you with their suffering. I loved it but I needed some time to recover after finishing it.
