---------------

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.

This stunning collection sees Natasha in conversation with:

  • Dolly Alderton on vulnerability
  • Alain de Botton on the psychology of being alone
  • Philippa Perry on falling in love slowly
  • Esther Perel on unrealistic expectations
  • 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
  • Roxane Gay on redefining romance
  • and many more...


Whether you’re navigating long-term love or newly single, becoming a parent or grieving a loss, wanting to deepen your friendships or learn to be alone, Conversations on Love is the wise, warm and inspiring book that you will turn to again and again.

Media Reviews

This eclectic and heartwarming collection explores love in all its forms, from romantic and parental love to friendship and loss. Interspersed with short but often deeply revealing interviews are Lunn's own experiences - of marriage and miscarriage, of being mother and daughter, wife and friend - which she portrays with sensitivity and candour. * Observer *
This book might just change your life. Lunn is a diligent, purposeful guide to this most ineffable of subjects... these testimonies become a call to connect more imaginatively, expansively and courageously * Sunday Times *
This deep dive into the human heart will expand and enrich your perspective on love... In recent years we've seen an explosion of content exploring relationships and sex, from Lisa Taddeo's bestseller Three Women to Esther Perel's podcast Where Should We Begin? If you're wondering whether Lunn can bring anything new to the table, the answer is a resounding yes. Balanced, hopeful and uplifting, Conversations on Love is full of tiny eureka moments * Evening Standard *
A gorgeous, richly layered book about all forms of love. You can pick it up and turn to any page - literally any - and find a gem to soothe and fortify your soul -- Pandora Sykes, Sunday Times bestselling author of HOW DO WE KNOW WE'RE DOING IT RIGHT?
Conversations on Love is a glorious celebration of human vulnerability and connection. It has made me laugh, shed tears, think deeply. I want every person I love to read this book -- Dr Kathryn Mannix, Sunday Times bestselling author of WITH THE END IN MIND
Enthralling, profound... The power of this book lies in its willingness to engage with love in the broadest sense: not merely the romantic kind, to which so many other books on relationships confine themselves. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't benefit from reading this transformative book * The Bookseller *
Sometimes you read a book that just makes you want to take the author's hands, look them in the eye and say thank you. This is that book. I needed to read it, you need to read it, everyone needs to read it -- Stacey Halls, bestselling author of THE FAMILIARS
Warm and wide-ranging and wise, a wonderful companion and guide -- Cressida Connolly, author of AFTER THE PARTY
One reading of this book is not enough. Conversations on Love is inspiring, insightful, comforting and hopeful in equal measure. Every page makes you think about why we feel the way we do and gently nudges you towards self compassion. -- Rosie Green, author of HOW TO HEAL A BROKEN HEART
I've never felt such growth after reading a book - I felt seen, challenged, understood, provoked and soothed. It's such a touching reminder about the love that really is all around us, and the importance of tending to it. Conversations in Love is a study that I'll come back to again and again. -- Laura Jane Williams, author of THE LOVE SQUARE and OUR STOP
