Lonely - Learning to Live with Solitude

In a boldly honest and elegantly written memoir--the first on this topic--Emily White reveals the painful and sometimes debilitating experience of living with chronic loneliness. In the vein of popular favorites such as Girl, Interrupted and Manic, Lonely approaches loneliness in the way that Andrew Soloman''s The Noonday Demon approached depression, and lifts the veil on a mostly ignored population who often suffer their disorder in silence.>
