Book of Happy Endings True Stories About Couples Who Met and Found Love

A literary treatment of real-life romances, this book takes pains to avoid the obvious: the fairy-tale ending, the dream come true, the star-crossed lovers. The approach also sidesteps psychology and the self-help angle, resembling most closely the relationship stories in women's magazines that contain no recipes for life but assume that readers are fascinated by other people's stories just because they wonder about their own. The book's warm, idiosyncratic handling of the head-over-heels phenomenon suggests that it's sensible to be a pessimist most of the time, but it's heartily life-affirming to hear about love waiting just around the corner, especially when the story is true.Valmorbida, Elise is the author of 'Book of Happy Endings True Stories About Couples Who Met and Found Love', published 2007 under ISBN 9781905736034 and ISBN 1905736037.
