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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing Joni Mitchell's seminal album Blue - which shaped Key's expectations of love - as an anchor, Arrangements in Blue 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith profound candour and intimacy, Arrangements in Blue 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","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43775125651592,"sku":"9781529919967","price":24.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/3443\/4440\/files\/arrangements-in-blue-notes-on-love-and-making-a-life-9781529919967-755799.jpg?v=1750217999","url":"https:\/\/littlelostbookshop.com.au\/products\/9781529919967-arrangements-in-blue-notes-on-love-and-making-a-life","provider":"The Little Lost Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
