{"product_id":"9780008265205","title":"You Left Early : A True Story of Love and Alcohol by Louisa Young","description":"`Extraordinarily powerful' Emma Thompson                    There are a million love stories, and a million stories of addiction. This one is transcendent.             Louisa Young met Robert Lockhart when they were both 17. Their stop-start romance lasted decades, in which time he became a celebrated composer and she, an acclaimed novelist.             This is both a compelling portrait of a lifelong love affair, and an incredibly affecting guide to how the partner of a 'charismatic, infuriating, adorable, self-sabotaging' alcoholic can find the strength to survive when the disease rips both their lives apart.                         `Rich and moving and beautifully written' The Times                                `Spectacular.
