A Little Life

A Little Life - A Novel - Thryft

Intense saga of enduring friendship and trauma.

If you crave a story that grips your heart tightly and lingers long after you've turned the last page, "A Little Life" is that emotionally heavy but profoundly moving read. It's an immersive journey that explores the complexities of human relationships, the weight of past traumas, and the enduring power of friendship. Just a heads-up: it's not a light read, so be prepared for a narrative that's as challenging as it is rewarding.

Description

A stunning “portrait of the enduring grace of friendship” (NPR) about the families we are born into, and those that we make for ourselves. A masterful depiction of love in the twenty-first century. A Little Life follows four college classmates—broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition—as they move to New York in search of fame and fortune. While their relationships, which are tinged by addiction, success, and pride, deepen over the decades, the men are held together by their devotion to the brilliant, enigmatic Jude, a man scarred by an unspeakable childhood trauma. A hymn to brotherly bonds and a masterful depiction of love in the twenty-first century, Hanya Yanagihara’s stunning novel is about the families we are born into, and those that we make for ourselves.
