After 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 slowly
Dolly Alderton on vulnerability
Stephen Grosz on accepting change
Candice Carty-Williams on friendship
Lisa Taddeo on the loneliness of loss
Diana Evans on parenthood
Emily Nagoski on the science of sex

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Since September 2017, journalist Natasha Lunn has been writing a newsletter entitled Conversations on Love, in which she interviews leading psychologists (Esther Perel, Susie Orbach), writers (Diana Evans, Ariel Levy) and others about the endlessly explorable subject of love. As anyone who has ever read it will know, it’s often a life-affirming affair, packed with pearls of wisdom that swiftly become words to live by. Luckily, Lunn’s book of the same name is no different. In it, the writer explores her own journey with love—from searching out lasting intimacy with a partner to discovering the boundless love of female friendship and her yearning to become a mother—interspersed with interviews from names including Dolly Alderton, Philippa Perry, Alain de Botton and Roxane Gay. Her own observations—written in powerful, poignant and often empathetic prose—are as fascinating as those of her guests, who deliver eye-opening insight into the myriad ways we love. Much like her newsletter, this book is a true gift, the kind of thing you’ll highlight and screenshot and share with everyone you know. We loved every single word.
