Categories: Biographies & Memoirs
The Cost of Living (2018) is the second volume of British writer Deborah Levy's living autobiography, after Things I Don't Want to Know. Levy describes the end of her marriage in her fifties, moving with her daughters into an apartment block in north London, writing in a borrowed garden shed and caring for her mother at the end of her life. She reflects on how women can build new lives on their own terms.
