Features: Solitary living makes us masters of our own fate. The idea of relying on marriage to eliminate loneliness is a dangerous one; dealing with loneliness on one's own is safer than rushing into marriage to solve it. Creating a satisfactory social environment and implementing self-support are better protections for the self and a way to escape loneliness than an unsuitable marriage. What makes this book rare is that Barbara does not intend to set an example for the single-living community or to radically promote the single lifestyle. Instead, she shares her experiences of living alone and the secrets of loving this way through a warm and intellectually engaging narrative, allowing us to enjoy the reading and learn from her. She believes that everyone can find a lifestyle that suits them. For those who are single but expect love, if they can better fill and embrace this period of solitude, then one day when love comes, it will add color to their lives.
