NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST • MAN BOOKER PRIZE FINALIST • WINNER OF THE KIRKUS PRIZE
A Little Life follows four college classmates—broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition—as they move to New York in search of fame and fortune. While their relationships, which are tinged by addiction, success, and pride, deepen over the decades, the men are held together by their devotion to the brilliant, enigmatic Jude, a man scarred by an unspeakable childhood trauma. A hymn to brotherly bonds and a masterful depiction of love in the twenty-first century, Hanya Yanagihara’s stunning novel is about the families we are born into, and those that we make for ourselves.

Poderosa
Terriblemente fuerte y poderosa, no podía dejar de leer.
Fascinante
Excelente novela. La historia de una verdadera y ruda explicación de la amistad
Simply beautiful
So far I have read about 50 books in my life I believe, about 100 if you count the ones when you’re studying.
I have read about many people, so many personalities, so many stories, and I will keep reading, learning about new places and people, but I can tell you confidently, that no book I have read, nor I will ever read comes close to what I have experienced with “A little life”, It might have been personal experiences, it might have been their wonderful characters, or the way the book is written, I cannot say for sure, nevertheless if there is one thing I can recommend you in this life will be to read this book, enjoy it, smile, cry with it, but read it because it truly means a lot and I think it leaves you with incredible perspectives of life once you finish it. I am proud to say I read this book and tho it took me a minute to read it(some chapters were harder to get through than others), god have I enjoyed every minute I invested in this book. I am wildly passionate about it and it might take me a while to read it again for sure, I am big fan of revisiting old stories, but when I do I will do so with a gentile smile. I know what this is about I, know how it ends, its pages are burned in my brain forever and yet I will read it gladly again that’s for sure!.
Again I dont know if I’ll ever encounter a book like this in the future but right now in my present, I am glad I did. Give yourself a chance to not only read it but to feel this book completely for what it is. Please, you WON’T REGRET IT. At all.
I’m sure of it.
