Description
We’re very excited to be reuniting Deborah Levy and Hannah Dawson at Sutton House as part of Feminist Book Fortnight.
Following the acclaimed Things I Don't Want to Know, Deborah Levy returns to life writing, particularly writing about how it is to be 'a woman in a world that is not geared to your advantage.' After dismantling her marriage, Levy starts again at 50, deliberately not choosing to be a minor character as a wife and mother, having built a home that is arranged for everyone except herself.
'Above all else, it is an act of immense generosity to be the architect of everyone else's well-being. This task is still mostly perceived as women's work. Consequently, there are all kinds of words used to belittle this huge endeavour.'
Without pity Levy describes her transition to a new life outside of what is expected, despite patriarchy's need to diminish her powers. The Cost of Living reveals a writer in radical flux, considering what it means to live with value and meaning and pleasure. This perfectly crafted snapshot of a woman in the process of transformation is as distinctive, wide-ranging and original as Levy's acclaimed novels, an essential read for every Deborah Levy fan.
