Klappentext
What kind of life do I really want to live?
'Essential' Frieze
'Elegant, invigorating and beautiful' Amy Key
Akshi Singh was at a crossroads. She worked precarious jobs and drifted between flats and relationships in London, struggling to grieve and comprehend the loss of her brother years earlier.
Then she came across the twentieth-century psychoanalyst and thinker Marion Milner. Though their lives were so different, the questions and preoccupations Milner was exploring - about leisure, freedom and creativity - were Singh's own.
Milner asked the simple question: how do I want to spend my free time? By following Milner's footsteps - keeping a diary, painting, building a home and travelling to the sea - Singh discovers the importance of rest, creativity and play in all of our lives, and how it can open the door to achieving what we truly desire.
'Astounding, generous, and quietly exhilarating' Daisy LaFarge
'Luminous' Times Literary Supplement
'Open-hearted' Marianne Brooker
