NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A stunning “portrait of the enduring grace of friendship” (NPR) about the families we are born into, and those that we make for ourselves. A masterful depiction of love in the twenty-first century.

NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • MAN BOOKER PRIZE FINALIST • WINNER OF THE KIRKUS PRIZE

A Little Life follows four college classmates—broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition—as they move to New York in search of fame and fortune. While their relationships, which are tinged by addiction, success, and pride, deepen over the decades, the men are held together by their devotion to the brilliant, enigmatic Jude, a man scarred by an unspeakable childhood trauma. A hymn to brotherly bonds and a masterful depiction of love in the twenty-first century, Hanya Yanagihara’s stunning novel is about the families we are born into, and those that we make for ourselves.

This is one of the best books I recently read.
As a trauma pedagogy worker, I appreciate greatly how accurate the depiction of trauma and PTSD is in this book. Great training material for aspiring and experienced mental health professionals.
The story itself is deep and has many layers, both rooted in different stages of life and in the biographies of different people. I also loved the shifts from one character to another and how the story became more and more whole with every chapter.
There is also a very accurate depiction of grief, or rather different ways to grieve.
Beware that this book has some triggering parts e.g. self-harm and eating disorders as well as sexual, physical and emotional abuse and some more.
Overall, the story makes one reflect on life and, although the story itself is sad, on its beauty and hopefulness. While reading, I did think a lot about all the amazing people in my life and all the great things I was gifted with

Endlessly relevant in trauma context

Beautifully written, but damn. I don't know whether the detailed description of numerous traumatic experiences were necessary.

Captivating the entire time and so well-written! All characters were built in rich layers of personality and trauma. Left me breathless in many occasions.

Best book ever!

Toll geschrieben und erzählt. Teilweise so emotional bewegend, dass ich es eine Weile ausmachen musste um das Gehörte zu verarbeiten. Tolles Buch.

Sehr bewegend

Devastatingly heartbreaking. A book I will never be able to move on from. Shattering to the bone. A story so deep, so tragic and read with so much passion and devotion. To recommend it would be somehow cruel yet never read a better book in life

A little life … a title that says it all
