But that didn’t happen for her. Now in her forties, she sets out to explore the realities of a life lived in the absence of romantic love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing Joni Mitchell’s seminal album \u003cem\u003eBlue\u003c\/em\u003e—which shaped Key’s expectations of love—as an anchor, \u003cem\u003eArrangements in Blue\u003c\/em\u003e elegantly honours a life lived completely by, and for, oneself. Building a home, travelling alone, choosing whether to be a mother, recognising her own milestones, learning the limits of self-care and the expansive potential of self-friendship, Key uncovers the many forms of connection and care that often go unnoticed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith profound candour and intimacy, \u003cem\u003eArrangements in Blue\u003c\/em\u003e explores the painful feelings we are usually too ashamed to discuss—loneliness, envy, grief and failure.
