Summary
'I was fascinated， moved and entertained by every page。 This is the kind of book the world needs right now' DONAL RYAN
_______________
'My dictionary's first two definitions of 'comrade' are:
A close companion。
An intimate associate or friend。
The third one is:
A fellow soldier。
My friends have been all those things to me。'
In this stunning essay collection， award-winning journalist Rosita Boland explores the many friendships that have shaped her life。 Surprising and beautiful， she writes about the imaginary friends of early childhood， books that have provided companionship and joy， kindred spirits met while travelling， the friend she hoped might become something more， and also the friendships that become lost over time。
Life-affirming， affecting and wise， Comrades is a powerful exploration of what it is to live， to connect， and to be human in this world。

Beautiful。 Boland takes the same care with his prose as she does her friendships， meaning that this book is considered and heartfelt。

I really enjoyed this read， I was looking for something lighter than some of my regular dark fictions that I always seem to find myself reading。 This book encapsulates friendship in all its forms spanning over a lifetime as the title suggests。 At times I laughed and others I cried but overall I was really invested in each chapter。 Especially at a time when seeing friends doesn’t come as easy as before the pandemic - this is a lovely reminder of the bonds that we have that we cannot see due to th I really enjoyed this read， I was looking for something lighter than some of my regular dark fictions that I always seem to find myself reading。 This book encapsulates friendship in all its forms spanning over a lifetime as the title suggests。 At times I laughed and others I cried but overall I was really invested in each chapter。 Especially at a time when seeing friends doesn’t come as easy as before the pandemic - this is a lovely reminder of the bonds that we have that we cannot see due to the enforced distance of the pandemic。 。。。more
