Leisure is time when something can be discovered, where certainties are called into question, where lives change'Essential' Frieze'Elegant, invigorating and beautiful' Amy KeyThe celebrated psychoanalyst Marion Milner lived for the entirety of the twentieth century. By the age of ninety-eight she had written nine books revealing how free time and creativity are vital for a fulfilled life.Akshi Singh was born ninety years after Milner, in Rajasthan, over four thousand miles away from where Milner lived and worked. At first glance, the worlds of these two women seem entirely separate.

In asking the simple question: how do I want to spend my free time? Milner developed a method for discovering her true likes and dislikes. As Singh follows Milner's approach - from keeping a diary to painting, building a home to travelling to the sea - she discovers the importance of rest, creativity and play in all of our lives, and how it can open the door to achieving what we truly desire.'An exquisite, open-hearted celebration of desire, friendship and lives imaginatively lived' Marianne Brooker'Astounding, generous, and quietly exhilarating' Daisy LaFarge.
