In this delightful collection, some of Ireland’s most celebrated writers capture the joy and pain of romantic love.

Featuring Oscar Wilde and James Joyce, George ‘AE’ Russell and Ethna Carbery, Thomas Moore and Lady Gregory, Jonathan Swift, J.M. Synge and many more.

Let their inspiring and stirring words guide you through the longing of love unanswered, the joy of love won, and the grief of love that is no more.

NICOLA REDDY has worked in publishing for many years. By day, she edits books for readers of all ages, and by night, she loves to share her favourites with her two young kids. Originally from Waterford, she now lives in Dublin with her family and two very fluffy cats. This is her first book.
