`The poet laureate of human emotion' ELIZABETH DAY`Left me feeling wiser and more open to life' OLIVER BURKEMAN`A work of genius' INDIA KNIGHTChange the way you think about love. When it comes to relationships, why do we find things so difficult? Drawing on more than forty years of candid and surprising conversations with his patients, psychoanalyst Stephen Grosz shows us how we can be better at love. In the intimate space of the consulting room, we meet the woman who can't post her wedding invitations but then, decades later, can't decide whether to get divorced; the ex-nun whose unconscious fear of pregnancy drove her into the convent; and the friendship group that explodes when an adulterous affair begins. Compelling, revealing and full of wisdom, Love's Labour shows us that only when we see ourselves and our world clearly are we truly ready to love one another. `Powerful and compelling' GUARDIAN`This is a beautiful book' NIGELLA LAWSON`This man could save your marriage' SUNDAY TIMES
