Every day we think about love, and every day love eludes us. Maybe you're hoping to begin a new relationship, or in a secret place in your heart, gathering the courage to leave one. Maybe you're in a long-term partnership, wondering how to sustain love through life's many storms. Maybe you're a parent and you want to be a better one; or you've lost a parent, and that loss suddenly dwarves everything else. After years of interviewing people about their relationships, Natasha Lunn learnt that these daily questions about love are often rooted in three bigger ones:
How do we find love? How do we sustain it?
And how do we survive when we lose it?
Interviewing authors and experts as well as drawing on her own experience, Natasha Lunn guides us through the complexities of these three questions. The result is a book to learn from, to lose and find yourself in. The real-life love stories will leave you feeling hopeful and seen, while the insights from experts will transform the way you think about your relationships. Above all, Conversations on Love will remind you that love is fragile, sturdy, mundane, beautiful - a thing always worth fighting for.

Better in print!
I would not recommend this as an audio book. I was really excited when I saw that so many of the book’s contributors were on the recording but the dialogue was really wooden. Despite these originally being interviews it felt really really obvious that the interviewees were reading something which they had previously said. Some were better than others but overall it was not a great performance. The content is good - though. I enjoyed thinking about love in all the many different ways it is tackled. Could use some trigger warnings about miscarriage - I didn’t realise how much of the book was about that.

Amazing listen
This is my first book of the year and I’m honoured to have been let in by all those who contributed to this, there’s been so many gems I’ve taken from this and I know it’s going to be one I listen to time and time again.

Soft, considered and kind
This book is full of understanding and wide explorations on the complexities of love of all kinds. It came along just at the right time in my life, just as I needed a reminder that we are all full of contradictions, that we are human and can live in dualities. The voices are clear to listen to making it an enjoyable listen.

Life gives us Love, Joy & Grief
A book group choice which I chose to listen to rather than read as I wanted to hear the voices of those interviewed. Some were read by actors which was a little disappointing but I still thoroughly enjoyed and learnt a lot about the message of the beauty and pain of love.
