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cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their centre of gravity.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

As a psychiatrist I say: This book is harmful.

One of the worst books I’ve ever read. And I read a lot. Misery pornography without any purpose. Very speculative. Avoid.

Damn boring.. Hard to keep up with present stories suddenly swapped to stories from the past and then swiftly 10-20 years into the future. Also a very frustrating book, not very believable, with very ignorant and naive characters. The narrator was very good though.

En skakande berättelse ... svår att släppa ... svår att orka.

Lever helt klart upp till sin hype. Enormt stark. Välskriven. Riktigt sorglig och fruktansvärda livsöden men enormt fina beskrivningar av vänskap och kärlek.

Fick så mycket insikt av denna bok. Sorglig, men inte bara. Ärlig och djup om det mänskliga psyket och relationer.
