About the author

Sarah Bakewell - BDeBooks
Sarah Bakewell

Bakewell spent ten years cataloguing early printed books at the Wellcome Library before she wrote full time, and the habit of noticing the marginal and the odd shows everywhere in her work. How to Live approaches Montaigne through twenty attempts at an answer instead of a chronology, and took a National Book Critics Circle award.
