A Little Life

Beginning with the arrival of four former college mates in New York, Hanya Yanagihara’s multi award-winning novel is ‘a dark and haunting examination of the tyranny of experience and memory’. As the friends navigate successes and challenges in their chosen fields – Willem as an actor, JB as an artist, Malcolm in architecture, and Jude in the legal profession – their lives revolve increasingly around Jude, whose childhood traumas continue to affect him.

Too many broken hearts to count

'A book unlike any other' The Guardian
'This novel challenged everything I thought I knew about love and friendship' Dua Lipa

The million-copy bestseller, Hanya Yanagihara's A Little Life, by the author of To Paradise, is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and the limits of human endurance.
JB, Jude, Malcolm and Willem.
Four young men move to New York broke, adrift and buoyed only by friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem; the sardonic painter JB; Malcolm, a frustrated architect; and Jude, brilliant and enigmatic - their centre of gravity.
