But that didn't happen for her. Now in her forties, she sets out to explore the realities of a life lived in the absence of romantic love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUsing Joni Mitchell's seminal album \u003ci\u003eBlue\u003c\/i\u003e - which shaped Key's expectations of love - as an anchor, \u003ci\u003eArrangements in Blue\u003c\/i\u003e elegantly honours a life lived completely by, and for, oneself. Building a home, travelling alone, choosing whether to be a mother, recognising her own milestones, learning the limits of self-care and the expansive potential of self-friendship, Key uncovers the many forms of connection and care that often go unnoticed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith profound candour and intimacy, \u003ci\u003eArrangements in Blue\u003c\/i\u003e explores the painful feelings we are usually too ashamed to discuss: loneliness, envy, grief and failure. The result is a book which inspires us to live and love more honestly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9781529919967\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNotes on Love and Making a Life\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9781529919967","offer_id":47099627503941,"sku":"9781529919967","price":14.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/9bab622b-2f03-473b-bb24-883ef5b59ebd.jpg?v=1781842375","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/arrangements-in-blue-von-amy-key-1","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
