These authors have each written books about love—albeit very different kinds.

Out of Love is a love story that begins at the end. But instead of moving forward through the emotional fallout of a break-up, Out of Love moves backward in time, weaving together an already unraveled tapestry, from tragic ending to magical first kiss. For anyone who has loved and lost, and lived to tell the tale, this gorgeously told debut is a modern novel with the heart of a classic: truthful, tragic, and ultimately full of hope.
Sparked by her unexpected encounter with the surviving roses he planted in 1936, Solnit’s account of this understudied aspect of George Orwell’s life explores both his writing and his actions. Orwell’s Roses is a lush exploration of roses, pleasure, and politics, and a fresh take on George Orwell as an avid gardener whose political writing was grounded in his passion for the natural world.
Are you frustrated by stymied relationships, missed connections, and the loneliness of the search for someone to spend the rest of your life with? Calling in “The One” is your guide to finding and keeping the love you seek, and is now revised and updated with new insights, stories, teaching points, and transformational exercises.
