The Price of Life

«Freedom is not free. Anyone who has fought for freedom knows what it costs». How can a woman in the modern world become the main character of her own life? «The Price of Life» is an autobiographical manifesto in which... a famous British writer addresses one of the most challenging periods of her own history, when, after a divorce and the death of her mother, she created a new world and a new home for herself and her daughters from scratch, but this time – on her own terms. With the lyricism, imagery, and subtle, truly British humor characteristic of her prose, she debunks traditional myths about the «home hearth» and contemplates the question: if the responsibility for the well-being and happiness of the family lies with the woman, then who is responsible for her own happiness?
