Rachel Cooke: The Virago Book of Friendship, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

'Uplifting' Harper's Bazaar

'Fascinating' Literary Review
Exhilaratingly wide ranging' Spectator
'Highly entertaining, often instructive ... bursting with every kind of amicable - or inimical - anecdote' Tablet

Novels and poems, diaries and letters, comics and graphic novels ... that's the way to understand friendship: its particular intensity and its miraculous ease; its tendency to wax and wane; its ability to inspire both delight and despair.

Bringing together work by more than 100 writers from Jane Austen to Edith Wharton and Virginia Woolf, from Dolly Alderton to Sarah Waters and Meg Wolitzer this glorious book celebrates and investigates friendship between women from first encounters to final goodbyes, from falling out to making up again.
