SORROWS OF LOVE (SCHOOL OF LIFE)

The latest addition to the series of giftable short books from The School of Life presents some honest truths about love. To be good at love means to have a capacity to reveal one’s hurt, desire and tenderness, to know how to be dependent and ready to surrender one’s autonomy to another. The book shows that it’s quite a balancing act, with great strength for most hours of the day and well-handled tenderness for the few that remain, so it should be no wonder if the journey from independence to vulnerability can get rather fraught!
