The million-copy bestseller, Hanya Yanagihara’s A Little Life is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and the limits of human endurance.

JB, Jude, Malcolm and Willem.
Four young men move to New York broke, adrift and buoyed only by friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem; the sardonic painter JB; Malcolm, a frustrated architect; and Jude, brilliant and enigmatic – their centre of gravity.
