Is it possible life without romantic love isn't so bad?An essential memoir about building life
on your own terms 'Marks an important shift in ideas about intimacy' OBSERVER 'The harbinger of
real talent' SUNDAY TIMES 'A tender  subversive study of love' NEW STATESMAN When poet Amy Key
was growing up  she looked forward to a life shaped by romance  fuelled by desire  longing and
the conventional markers of success that come when you share a life with another person. 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. Using Joni Mitchell's seminal album Blue - which shaped
Key's expectations of love - as an anchor  Arrangements in Blue 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. With profound candour and intimacy  Arrangements in Blue 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. 5* READER REVIEWS:'It broke and
mended my heart simultaneously''Stunning  honest  touching''An astonishing work  brilliantly
