When four graduates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their centre of gravity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he'll not only be unable to overcome - but that will define his life forever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hanya Yanagihara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49095933329659,"sku":"9781447294832","price":25.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/8176\/3067\/files\/7857953482703_jpg.webp?v=1784763322","url":"https:\/\/aureliabooks.co.nz\/products\/a-little-life-9781447294832","provider":"Aurelia Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
