But that didn't happen for her. Now in her forties, she sets out to explore the realities of a life lived in the absence of romantic love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing Joni Mitchell's seminal album \u003ci\u003eBlue\u003c\/i\u003e - which shaped Key's expectations of love - as an anchor, \u003ci\u003eArrangements in Blue\u003c\/i\u003e elegantly honours a life lived completely by, and for, oneself. Building a home, travelling alone, choosing whether to be a mother, recognising her own milestones, learning the limits of self-care and the expansive potential of self-friendship, Key uncovers the many forms of connection and care that often go unnoticed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith profound candour and intimacy, \u003ci\u003eArrangements in Blue\u003c\/i\u003e explores the painful feelings we are usually too ashamed to discuss: loneliness, envy, grief and failure. The result is a book which inspires us to live and love more honestly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40778501357665,"sku":"9781787333895","price":15.91,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/40b7d9e47736ef7ac05af597cdd8d3fa.png?v=1704944150","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781787333895-arrangements-in-blue","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
