The back cover reads:
Essays in love is a stunningly original story. Taking in Aristotle, Wittgenstein, history, religion and Groucho Marx, Alain de Botton charts the progress of a love affair from the fist kiss to argument and reconciliation, form intimacy and tenderness to the onset of anxiety and heartbreak. Essays in love is a wholly modern attempt to define the age-old dliemmas of the heart.
PS - Also published under the title: On love: a novel.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
Sending this book to Crimson-tide as she is Ms. October for the 'Southern Cross Book Exchange 2010' over on www.book.obsessed.com.
I have to admit that I found it difficult to sit down and read this book. It was more one for dipping into. But, if Alain were to read it to me himself...I just love his voice and diction!

Thank you so much for this one jubby, and also for the gorgeous card AND the DVDs of two others of Alain's books. I've read a couple of his and enjoyed them, and I'm sure I'll find this one interesting too. Supposedly "a novel", though at first glance it doesn't look too novel-like!! Another from the 1001 books list too.
And I know I'll enjoy the DVDs. Thanks again. :-)
