Living Alone And Living Well

By Frances McVeigh

At a time when the number of Irish and UK single-person households is surging, Frances McVeigh, in Living Alone and Living Well, demystifies what it means to thrive in a home for one.

This friendly, honest guide offers essential insights and practical support to help your independent home become a healthier, happier place.

Grounded in extensive research and supported throughout by the testimonies of Irish and UK females, Frances McVeigh disrupts our traditional and sometimes negative view of what it means to live alone and explores why and how millions of people successfully embrace a solo life today.

Written with clarity and sensitivity, this book charts the author's experience of personal growth and self-discovery, providing lessons learned, hints, tips, and a transformation drawn from deep personal and practical experience.

This book is a strong offering of support whether your living arrangement is temporary or long-term, has been the result of a positive personal choice or an unexpected change in circumstances - such as separation, loss, living child free, divorce or having simply always preferred a space of your own.
