A celebration of love in all its strange and beautiful formsAfter years of feeling that love was always out of reach, journalist Natasha Lunn set out to understand how relationships work and evolve over a lifetime. She turned to authors and experts to learn about their experiences, as well as drawing on her own, asking- How do we find love? How do we sustain it? And how do we survive when we lose it? In Conversations on Love she began to find the answers-Philippa Perry on falling in love slowlyDolly Alderton on vulnerabilityStephen Grosz on accepting changeCandice Carty-Williams on friendshipLisa Taddeo on the loneliness of lossDiana Evans on parenthoodEmily Nagoski on the science of sexAlain de Botton on the psychology of being aloneEsther Perel on unrealistic expectationsRoxane Gay on redefining romanceand many more. . .
Conversations on Love shows that love comes in myriad forms and that like our hearts and minds, it can be explored infinitely -- Pandora Sykes, Sunday Times bestselling author of HOW DO WE KNOW WE' RE DOING IT RIGHT? Conversations on Love is a glorious celebration of human vulnerability and connection. It has made me laugh, shed tears, think deeply. I want every person I love to read this book -- Dr Kathryn Mannix, Sunday Times bestselling author of WITH THE END IN MIND Enthralling, profound. . . The power of this book lies in its willingness to engage with love in the broadest sense: not merely the romantic kind, to which so many other books on relationships confine themselves. I can' t imagine anyone who wouldn' t benefit from reading this transformative book * The Bookseller * Sometimes you read a book that just makes you want to take the author' s hands, look them in the eye and say thank you. This is that book. I needed to read it, you need to read it, everyone needs to read it -- Stacey Halls, bestselling author of THE FAMILIARS Warm and wide-ranging and wise, a wonderful companion and guide -- Cressida Connolly, author of AFTER THE PARTY One reading of this book is not enough. Conversations on Love is inspiring, insightful, comforting and hopeful in equal measure. Every page makes you think about why we feel the way we do and gently nudges you towards self compassion. -- Rosie Green, author of HOW TO HEAL A BROKEN HEART I' ve never felt such growth after reading a book - I felt seen, challenged, understood, provoked and soothed. It' s such a touching reminder about the love that really is all around us, and the importance of tending to it. Conversations in Love is a study that I' ll come back to again and again. -- Laura Jane Williams, author of THE LOVE SQUARE and OUR STOP Natasha Lunn is the most thoughtful interviewer I have ever encountered, with a heart as big as her brain, and these conversations are endlessly inspiring, restorative, surprising and delicious. Love is too often taken for granted: here it shines under rigorous analysis to create a manifesto of how and why we feel, and a must-read for anyone who has a heart! -- Emma Jane Unsworth, author of ANIMALS Breathtaking in its scope and breadth, Natasha Lunn combines the boundless curiosity of a researcher, the passion of a formidable writer, and the erudition of a deeply reflective thinker. She' s daring and kind, and a joy to read. Conversations on Love offers us vital guidance for navigating all relationships -- Charlotte Fox Weber, founder of The School of Life Psychotherapy This is a book that people need to read about love in its many complex, challenging, sacred and profane forms -- Jean Hannah Edelstein, author of This Really Isn' t About You This beautiful book is essential reading. I wish I could send this book back in time and read it to every past version of myself, to teach her all the hopeful and expansive possibilities of love. I know my future self will rely on it every day. Lunn' s thoughtful interviews with brilliant subjects illuminate new ways of thinking about friendship, romance, attachment and loss. Beautifully written and so acutely observed, this book is a gift -- Lucia Osborne-Crawley, author of I Choose Elena & My Body Keeps Your Secrets This book is moving and lyrical, but more than anything it captures how love colours and transforms loss, and makes the reader feel that the memory of love is sustains in itself -- Baroness Julia Neuberger Rarely has a non-fiction book made me feel so seen, but also given me so much hope about love. Conversations on Love is an incredible book - not only is it so beautifully written but the full gamut of love is represented from families to romance to parenthood to friendship -- Poorna Bell, author of STRONGER A sure-fire contender for multiple buys and gifting to pals . . . It will honestly change how you think about love, in romantic relationships or otherwise, and has the power to overhaul your life in all manner of positive ways * Living Etc * Thought-provoking, wise and reassuring * Good Housekeeping * One of this summer' s most buzzed about books (and one that might just change your life). Lunn is a diligent, purposeful guide to this most ineffable of subjects. . . these testimonies become a call to connect more imaginatively, expansively and courageously * Sunday Times * This deep dive into the human heart will expand and enrich your perspective on love. . . In recent years we' ve seen an explosion of content exploring relationships and sex, from Lisa Taddeo' s bestseller Three Womento Esther Perel' s podcast Where Should We Begin? If you' re wondering whether Lunn can bring anything new to the table, the answer is a resounding yes. Balanced, hopeful and uplifting, Conversations on Love is full of tiny eureka moments * Evening Standard * Conversations on Love will change your perspective of connection, love, friendship, grief, and everything in between. It' s the most important book I' ve read this year, and it may have changed the way I approach relationships forever * Her. ie *
