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.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45078969974942,"sku":"UBD-9781529919967","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781529919967.jpg?v=1739164600","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781529919967","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
