All our Yesterdays
Set in New York in 1990s this story is a profound, unique, intensely personal collection of episodes of memory from a young woman making her way in a new city. Her reckoning with friendships, work, lovers and society as a whole and her search for a personal utopia.
Emily is left to pick up the pieces after a heart-breaking accident. Her life is shattered but she manages to sleepwalk through Art College and lands in New York City to begin her career as a designer in 1990s fashion industry. Join her as she tries to find herself in love and friendships, continually finding herself feeling a sense of unbelonging.
The rich, French, trust fund banker. The academic journalist. Adam the Harvard business graduate and Kieran the bookseller.
All of them make a place in her heart but nothing cauterises the buried pain. Until thirty years later during yoga teacher training, and an energy worker invites her to release her story. Her release coincides with Adam’s reappearance and a meeting shows Emily that once loved never lost. This renewed release and re-finding written in a prosaic, episodic time-slip vignettes of memory often prompted by scents. Cathartic, heart-warming, funny and heart-breaking but offering hope to anyone has experienced a broken heart.
