By Hanya Yanagihara

Service95 Recommends is the home of the books we love and reviews from our contributors. A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara is a story of friendship, exploring themes of trauma and identity. 

What We Say: “Exquisitely written, A Little Life will challenge everything you thought you knew about friendship. Yes, the trauma is harrowing, but at its heart, this is a story about a love that knows no bounds – the love we find in friendship” – Samantha de Haas

What They Say: “A singularly profound and moving work . . . It’s not often that you read a book of this length and find yourself thinking ‘I wish it was longer’ but Yanagihara takes you so deeply into the lives and minds of these characters that you struggle to leave them behind” – Fiona Wilson

Available on Bookshop.org, Waterstones and Barnes & Noble
