'Full of heart.' Michael Harris, author of Solitude Travelling with
friends and family is usually thought of as a privilege. In theory,
anyway. In practice, it's more often about debating which sights to
see, panicking over diminishing phone batteries and bickering over
what to eat. Not much joy in that. But alone you can do as you
please. You can wander markets, relish silence, go to a park. Go to
Paris. Why not? In Alone Time, New York Times travel columnist
Stephanie Rosenbloom travels alone in four seasons to four
remarkable cities - Paris, Istanbul, Florence and New York -
exploring the sensory experience of solitude. Along the way she
illuminates the psychological arguments for alone time, revealing
that whether you recognize it or not, it's good to be alone now and
then. This is a book about the pleasures and benefits of savouring
the moment, examining things closely, using all your senses to take
in your surroundings, whether travelling to faraway places or
walking the streets of your own city. Through on-the-ground
observations and anecdotes, and drawing on the thinking of artists,
writers and innovators who have cherished solitude, Alone Time lays
bare the magic of going solo.
