Rather incoherently, I told them of Robert’s death, and said that even if they didn’t feel great about their own recovery today they had helped in his. This is a hugely important book – raw and unflinching but also uplifting and elegiac, it should be essential reading for anybody who’s ever lost someone they loved.

You Left Early: A True Story of Love and Alcohol - Louisa Young
Inside, we wonder if it is our fault somehow, but addiction is nobody’s fault — addiction is partly genetic, partly psychological and partly circumstantial. Still, there would be a few happy years of sobriety before a particularly nasty bout with throat cancer resulted in surgery that took much of his lower jaw. These were followed in 2002 by The Book of the Heart, a cultural history of the heart as it is seen through art, religion, love and anatomy. This book tells the true memoir of Louisa and Robert and their time together over a number of decades. Alcoholism is something rarely discussed without some kind of value put on or bias tainting the narrative.The bare bones of Young’s story were familiar to me because I knew that she and Michel Faber, her new partner, were writing books about their bereavement at the same time.

Review: You Left Early: A True Story of Love and Alcohol by
About losing the love of your life over and over again, and getting him back, and then finally losing him forever — because of alcohol.
In this memoir of their relationship, she documents its erratic highs, appalling lows and Robert’s challenging road to a short-lived recovery. Young’s grandmother was a sculptor who assisted Harold Gillies, the pioneer of facial surgery, during World War I, and Young later wrote all about pedicles in her novel My Dear I Wanted to Tell You.

If a person has (1): the genetic predisposition to physical additions, and also (2): the psychological predisposition to using chemicals to change the mood when they are suffering mental or emotional pain, and also (3): things happening in their life which cause them that mental and emotional pain, then it is likely that enough of that pain will provoke them to use enough of those chemicals for the physical addiction to kick in. One of the most touching and heart breaking books I have ever read, a true love story in the mix up of alcoholism. Interesting side note: when Robert was being treated for throat cancer, doctors had to use a pedicle to reconstruct his jaw.There are a million tales of love and many more of addiction, claims the press release for You Left Early, a grief memoir by the award-winning novelist Louisa Young.

She dissects her feelings for Robert and, with access to his personal papers, attempts to make sense of his feelings for her.

Her first book was A Great Task of Happiness (1995), the life of Kathleen Bruce, her grandmother, the sculptor and wife of Scott of the Antarctic.
