She spends her days stitching morbid samplers and tormenting her two long-suffering carers, Nastya and Euphoria, with tangled stories of her husbands and love affairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShimi Carmelli can do up his own buttons, walks without the aid of a frame and speaks without spitting. Among the widows of North London, he¿s whispered about as the last of the eligible bachelors. Unlike Beryl, he forgets nothing amp;mdash; especially not the shame of a childhood incident that has hung over him like an oppressive cloud ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere¿s very little life remaining for either of them, but perhaps just enough to heal some of the hurt inflicted along the way and find new meaning in what¿s left. Told with Jacobson¿s trademark wit and style, Live a Little is in equal parts funny, irreverent and tender amp;mdash; a novel to make you consider all the paths not taken, and whether you could still change course.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47114153918704,"sku":"2940169154948","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169154948_p0.jpg?v=1763763860","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169154948","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
