The Geography of Love
by Glenda Burgess

Summary

Chosen as one of The Ten Best Books of 2008 by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and a finalist for the 2008 Books for a Better Life Award, The Geography of Love is a powerful and moving exploration of love tested by unthinkable circumstances, and of our ability to love and trust no matter what the odds. It is also a poignant love letter to a woman's great love, a man who had lost so much yet taught her to see every twist and turn that life offers as an adventure and an opportunity. This tender and intimate memoir asks the age-old question of whether it is better to have loved and lost than have never loved at all - and answers with a resounding yes. The Geography of Love reminds us that love is always a leap of faith - and beautifully illustrates why we take it.

Praise

"Burgess' tender recollections ... remind us that we tend to be defined by our great loves well after we have outlived them." - Elle Magazine

"I read this poignant and harrowing memoir in one sitting — in one breath — and I had ever felt about love's ability to vanquish everything, to swallow heartbreak, to correct history, Burgess makes us believe. And in a fashion that reads like a classic novel." — Jacquelyn Mitchard, author of The Deep End of the Ocean.
