Description

What is real love? Happy and serene, full of tenderness and warmth? Or bruised, scratched, and hard-won—but not broken by trials? Or overflowing with feelings, capricious, jealous, and clouding the mind? Or the kind that borders on hatred, always balancing on the edge of that terrible abyss? Or maybe there is no love at all, and all relationships are built on mutual benefit and calculation? Writers have asked these questions for centuries, even though they understand that there is no way to find an unambiguous answer. But wonderful stories do come out—stories that reveal the many twisted forms that love can take.
