Product Description
Single: Building a Complete Life on Your Own
Author: Nicola Slawson
Format: Paperback
Around 40 per cent of UK adults are single at any one time. Far from being a transitional state between relationships, singledom has a lot to offer in terms of freedom, self-discovery and self-determination. At the same time, there are challenges, from the social to the economic. How do you handle being ill if you are alone? Who do you call if you’re stranded out late at night? If you don’t find the right person to have a baby with, should you become a parent alone?
In Single, Nicola explores being un-partnered in a world designed for couples, and how to find the joy in the life that you are already living. If you are newly single, long-term single, avowedly single, reluctantly so, considering leaving your current relationship or just wondering what to say to your aunt next time she asks if you’ll ever get married – this book is for you.
