Unruly, unpredictable, love is a maddening deity. In this insightful and eloquent meditation on that many-splendored thing, Lisa Appignanesi draws on history, philosophy, psychology, literature, popular culture, and her own experience in order to tangle with love's paradoxes through the span of our lives.

Beginning with the rose-tinted raptures of first love, she proceeds to love in marriage, the passions of triangulated love, jealousy and adultery, love in the family, and friendship, illuminating the expectations, the joys and difficulties that accompany each stage.

Lisa Appignanesi was born in Poland and grew up in France and Canada. A prize-winning writer and novelist, she was chair of the Freud Museum from 2008-2014, chair of the Royal Society of Literature from 2016-2021 and is a former president of English PEN. She was awarded an OBE for services to literature in 2013. Her non-fiction includes Freud's Women (with John Forrester), Mad, Bad and Sad, All About Love, Trials of Passion, and the memoirs Losing the Dead and Everyday Madness.
