Book Details

Alice is disappointed by men and searching for answers when she meets and embarks on an affair with Eric. Her romantic predicaments and emotional swings give rise to a host of questions. Why is jealousy sometimes a good thing? At what stage can one disagree with a lover's opinion, without giving offense? Must there always be an issue of power between people? And, perhaps most important of all, what is the link between love, sex, and shopping? With a sure feel for women and men, Alain de Botton reveals the lovers' characters; he also provides a chorus of thinkers about love, from Descartes and Rousseau to Plato, D. H. Lawrence, and Aretha Franklin. As Alice begins to evaluate Eric as a prospective mate, her thoughts are amusingly illustrated by a succession of drawings and charts.
