What to expect

'I loved every page of Emily's punchy, provocative, energised, joyful musings.' - MATT HAIG

'What follows is not a tidy narrative. I am not a tidy person. These pages are made of fragments, contradictions, jokes, confessions, and philosophical detours, because, well, that is how life happens . . .'

In this book, Emily Crane invites us to share her observations on the extraordinary and the everyday: stacks of washing up sit alongside musings on God; hot coffee accompanies thoughts about creativity; and memories of snails in her childhood garden slip in beside notes on writing, and books. We find Nietzsche living in a house-share with Keats, and a grieving Demeter keeps us company on wintry Sunday morning walks.

Drawing upon philosophy, literature, mythology and memoir, In Search of Lost Thoughts is an antidote to the stresses and distractions of the world we live in. Above all, it is a vivid and striking insight into what it means to be a young woman today.

Critics Review

Oh wow. Please do yourself a favour and read this book. I loved every page of Emily Crane's punchy, provocative, energised, joyful musings. Musings which cover everything from Homer to childhood to pigeons. There are heavy themes - suicide, sexism, the horrors of the world but because of the lively and passionate way it is written, you are happy to take the ride. It's a book to entertain you and to argue with you and agree with you. In non fiction there are two types of book - ones that give you interesting facts, and ones which aim to entertain or nourish via opinion. This manages to do both. I loved it.
