About the book
Feminist critic bell hooks argues that society suffers from lovelessness, meaning a lack of care, compassion and unity rather than a lack of romance. She disputes the idea that ideal love is bound up with sex and desire, and challenges the notion that romantic love matters more than all other bonds. Across thirteen chapters, each on one aspect of love, she adopts M. Scott Peck's definition of love as an act of will and writes about honesty and the false selves men and women are taught to build. The preface recalls being abandoned by love in her girlhood. It reached the New York Times bestseller list in 2021. It opens a trilogy on love that continues with Salvation and Communion.
