At no time before have so many people lived alone, and never has loneliness been so widely or keenly feltWhy, in a society of individualists, is living alone perceived as a shameful failure? And can we ever be happy on our own?

''A heartfelt memoir on being single, living alone and the existential experience of loneliness''
