Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

From one of the great thinkers and writers of our time, comes the highly anticipated final instalment in Deborah Levy's critically acclaimed Living Autobiography.

Following the international critical acclaim of The Cost of Living, this final volume of Deborah Levy's Living Autobiography is an exhilarating, thought-provoking and boldly intimate meditation on home and the spectres that haunt it.

'I began to wonder what myself and all unwritten and unseen women would possess in their property portfolios at the end of their lives. Literally, her physical property and possessions, and then everything else she valued, though it might not be valued by society. What might she claim, own, discard and bequeath? Or is she the real estate, owned by patriarchy? In this sense, real estate is a tricky business. We rent it and buy it, sell and inherit it - but we must also knock it down.'

'Three bicycles. Seven ghosts. A crumbling apartment block on the hill. Fame. Tenderness. The statue of Peter Pan. Silk. Melancholy. The banana tree. A Pandemic. A love story.'

Extraordinary, honest and downright witty …

I was recommended the whole series and read them all, immediately drawn in by Levy’s voice. Being a child of the diaspora, from Cyprus to Uk, although a decade younger than Levy, I connected and understood her exploration of her dual identity as a female in a foreign land. Indeed I’m writing my own story ‘Sea With Salty water’ , out soon. My other two books ‘Hamster Rats & Other Stuff Going On’ (drawn from my days in Britain), and OUR FOREIGN BORDERS’ (drawn from my travels and teaching in 11 countries) also explore identity, friendship, culture, partnerships and patriarchy, which are available on Amazon. I really recommend this read. Nitsa Anastasiades
