Description

The million-copy bestseller, A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and the limits of human endurance. 


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cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their centre of gravity.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.

      ⚠️Trigger warnings: sexual abuse, child abuse, verbal violence, psychological manipulation, self-harm, PTSD
      ▫️A few words about the book: "A Little Life" is one of the most moving and at the same time harsh books ever written. The novel follows the lives of 4 friends as they grow up, discover life, and manage their personal relationships. Mainly, we follow as the main character the life of Jude, whose story is the hardest you will ever read.
      ▪️Style/Writing of the book: The writing is incredibly literary and atmospheric. Even though it is a large book, from the very first page you realize that it will be a heavy book, with difficult themes, as it does not prepare you for what is coming in the slightest.
      ▫️Why I loved it: It is one of the most genuine books I have read. The way it doesn't sugarcoat situations makes it authentic and even though everything seems wrong, there are those small moments of hope and humanity that give you the courage to keep reading.
      ▪️Why you should read it: If you are looking for a book that will leave a mark on you and make you wonder, even cry as you read it, then yes, this is for you! Of course, if you are more sensitive to the book's triggers, it would be good to avoid it or at least read it knowingly, as it requires composure and emotional availability.
