Items related to Essays in Love
Why do we fall in love - and why do we break up? Written in the style of a novel, this genre-defying book charts the relationship of a man and a woman from the first kiss to the onset of anxiety and heartbreak, illuminating emotions we have all felt but perhaps never fully understood.

Review:
The book's success has much to do with its beautifully modelled sentences, its wry humour and its unwavering deadpan respect for its reader's intelligence . . . full of keen observation and flashes of genuine lyricism, acuity and depth. (Francine Prose)
Witty, funny, sophisticated, neatly tied up, and full of wise and illuminating insights. (P. J. Kavanagh Spectator)
De Botton is a national treasure. (Susan Hill)
I doubt if de Botton has written a dull sentence in his life. (Jan Morris New Statesman)
Single-handedly, de Botton has taken philosophy back to its simplest and most important purpose: helping us to live our lives (Independent)
It's a familiar tale but there is nothing predictable about De Botton's explanation of how love enthrals us all. This is no light romance but a sort of "When Harry Met Sally Meets Roland Barthes". . . A novel of wit and insight; whatever the state of your love life, it will make entertaining and sometimes painful, sometimes profitable reading (Time Out)
