‘Extraordinarily powerful’ Emma ThompsonThere are a million love stories, and a million stories of addiction. This one is transcendent.Louisa Young met Robert Lockhart when they were both 17. Their stop-start romance lasted decades, in which time he became a celebrated composer and she, an acclaimed novelist.This is both a compelling portrait of a lifelong love affair, and an incredibly affecting guide to how the partner of a 'charismatic, infuriating, adorable, self-sabotaging’ alcoholic can find the strength to survive when the disease rips both their lives apart.

‘Rich and moving and beautifully written’

The Times

‘Spectacular. I can’t stop thinking about it. Louisa Young is a beautiful, beautiful writer . . . an unflinching honesty that feels like a great gift to the reader’

Cathy Rentzenbrink, author of The Last Act of Love

‘Beautiful . . . sobering . . . at heart, an old-fashioned love story’

Daily Mail

‘An extraordinarily candid bereavement memoir . . . As much as it’s an overwhelming love letter, Young’s book is also a sobering reminder of the devastating effects of alcoholism, not just on an individual’s life, but on everyone else around them’

Evening Standard

‘The most riveting, heartbreaking book I’ve ever read about addiction, but above all about the nature of love. Already one of my books of the year’

Linda Grant

‘As honest as the morning after and the best account of loving against all sense since Penelope Mortimer’s The Pumpkin Eater

Patrick Gale

‘I’m still fucking crying. And it’s such a great work of art. I wish I’d read it before I worked as a drug and alcohol counsellor’

Philippa Perry

‘Oh my God, it’s so beautiful, and heartbreaking, and true’

Sam Baker, The Pool

‘An important book, one that demands we rethink a culture of blame around alcoholism’

Daily Express

‘I inhaled You Left Early like crystal meth from a red-hot pipe . . . a beautiful compelling book and a galloping read too’

Rachel Johnson

‘An extraordinarily powerful and moving work . . . [a] beautiful book which I devoured in two sittings. Amazing’

Emma Thompson

‘Brilliant: generous and clear-sighted and deeply poignant’

Reverend Richard Coles

‘I am upset, astonished, compelled, grateful. The sheer work of loving comes through . . . Quite brilliant’

Suzanne Moore

‘Anyone who has known a great love will get this book. Sexy and intellectual. I was very moved’

Monique Roffey

‘If the greatest act of devotion is to conjure the dead beloved in all their vivid, imperfect, mesmerising humanity, then Louisa Young’s book is a memorial to equal the Taj Mahal . . . Anyone who has ever loved an addict will recognise . . . what she has to say’

Rowan Pelling, iNews

‘Compulsively and painfully readable – beautifully written and enormously sad’

Lissa Evans, author of Crooked Heart
