A blind man yearns to see the face of his wife of 30 years. A divorced mother has a secret love affair with a priest. A geologist discovers a three-minute video recorded by his wife before she died. A tree lopper's heart falls in a forest. A working mum contemplates taking photographs of her late husband down from her fridge. A girl writes a last letter to the man she loves most, then sets it on fire. A palliative care nurse helps a dying woman converse with the angel at the end of her bed. A renowned 100-year-old scientist ponders the one great earthly puzzle he was never able to solve: 'What is love?' Endless stories. Human stories. Love stories. Inspired by a personal moment of profound love and generosity, Trent Dalton, bestselling author and one of Australia's finest journalists, spent two months in 2021 speaking to people from all walks of life, asking them one simple and direct question: 'Can you please tell me a love story?' The result is an immensely warm, poignant, funny and moving book about love in all its guises.

We NEED Love ..IT is everything !

Reviewed in Australia on 23 May 2022

What an unusual book ! So many types of love stories.. I could imagine Trent Dalton sitting at his table on the corner of the busy street talking to all manner of people. I liked some stories more than others..which is human nature of course ! A good Novel to give as a gift, to make you think , and remember the people, etc, which made up your lifetime of love ...from pets to humans.. to life experiences.

An Antidote for these Difficult Times

Reviewed in Australia on 28 January 2022

Love Stories is one of the bravest and most beautifully written books I've read in many years. It was a soothing balm for a cynical and broken hearted reader, who once loved to write, but has forgotten how. Perhaps this book can make her remember the sheer power of words, and love. Thank you Trent for sitting on that corner and being willing to listen. And thank you Kath, for the means to translate those words.

Loved this book

When read slowly, day by day, piece by piece the stories served as gentle reminders that in every single day you can find a little spark of happiness. I really enjoyed the open honesty and absolutely relatable stories. There were many happy tears shed.

Get ready to get emotional

Reviewed in Australia on 27 February 2022

Love is a journey and you don’t need me to write a review on love when this book is all about that.
It’s a great book and some stories also got me emotional. I have bookmarked heaps of lines that I would use for my partner to tell him how much I love him.

Only negative for me was that because the stories were so short, i forgot a lot of them as I progressed through. Didn’t give the stories much of a thinking time, but maybe that’s more on me.

This is just wonderful to read. So many beautiful true stories and written in typical Trent style. Once you start you don't want to put it down. I really hope there will be a sequel.
