Mr B's review
In this beautiful collection of personal essays, bestselling author Andrew O’Hagan reflects on the importance of friendship, a relationship that is often regarded as less important than romance but is in fact one of the greatest joys that life has to offer. Whether fleeting or lifelong, in childhood or in adulthood, with animals or with humans, O’Hagan explores why and how connections are made, through music, poetry, memory, and history, and how they enhance the experience of life.
Description
‘A witty, heartfelt but intelligent celebration of what it means to have great friends.’ The Times
‘Delightful.’ Guardian
‘The overwhelming tone of the book is joy, along with an optimism about friendship’s enduring essence.’ Sunday Times
A Times Literary Supplement Book of the Year
From the bestselling author of Mayflies and Caledonian Road, a heart-enriching celebration of what makes us great: our friends.
If we are lucky in our lives, our friendships will be rich and varied. They will be shared with those with two legs, with four legs, with whiskers or clean faces; they will come dressed in the simplicity of childhood or the professional attire of adult life; some will span decades, and some will be only fleeting. But the thing they will all have in common is that life is not only unimaginable – but unimagined – without them.
In these gorgeous personal reflections, Andrew O’Hagan explores friendship through music and poetry, memory and history, illuminating the many ways and reasons that people come together, and how our lives are all the better because we do.
Andrew O’Hagan’s novel Caledonian Road was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 31/03/2024
