Real Estate

"This final volume of British writer Deborah Levy’s bracing autobiographical trilogy finds her wondering, on the cusp of both 60 and empty-nesthood, how and where she wants to live. Her career finally took off in her 50s after she left her husband, which gives her some leeway, though not quite enough to afford the “un-real estate” of her dreams. But Real Estate isn’t really about dream houses or house lust. Levy’s multilayered, playful musings concern a different sort of property ownership – of one’s own life. The point, she reminds us, is to create a life for yourself in which you feel most at home."

"Deborah Levy's memoir "Real Estate," which I am reading for the second time."
