Finding evidence in new psychological research, the myth of Psyche and Cupid, Shakespeare’s plays, Freud’s case histories, Anne Frank’s diaries, and contemporary novels, Carol Gilligan discovers that the roots of a more hopeful view of love are all around us.

Critic reviews

"Gillian’s mastery of literary sources and her intelligent but nonacademic writing make this an enjoyable, challenging work." ( Publishers Weekly)
"An original and elegant inquiry, a fine weave of vivid case studies of ‘couples in crisis’ and brilliant literary analysis." ( Booklist)
"A rich and personal tapestry.... [A] bold and boundary-breaking book." ( The Boston Globe)
