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.
