Cleverly using lines from love songs to create a flowing ballad—as infectious and engaging as a jazz riff—he intersperses fictional vignettes that capture lovers in different situations, ages, and temperaments along with notes addressed to “you,” his wife of fifty years. “The story I have to tell is of you. Of others, too. Other people, other things. But mainly of you. It begins and ends with you. It always comes back to you.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLively yet profound, poignant yet joyous, \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Love\u003c\/em\u003e is a triumph of intellect and imagination: a personal discourse on love that is both novel and timeless. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153586176240,"sku":"9780062349446","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780062349446_p0.jpg?v=1763630273","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780062349446","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
