Can you put an adjective immediately after a verb, even when the verb is "live", the adjective being "solitary and content"?
Where in all of this, I asked myself, was the man who had beaten three marriages in turn and gone on to live solitary and content only a stone’s throw from the sea?

Instead of solitary, I'd probably use the word "alone". "...gone on to live alone and content..."
