Heart traces the arc from heartbreak to wholeness, with powerfully insightful selections drawn from such masters as Marcel Proust, Thomas Hardy, and Vladimir Nabokov, as well as contemporary luminaries ranging from Anne Tyler to Banana Yoshimoto. Readers can shed the incredible weight that a broken heart leaves behind via a selection from Alain de Botton’s wittily perceptive On Love, and then go on to Anita Brookner’s delightful revelations about love and loss, Alice Munro’s quietly uplifting portrait of a rejected woman finding new strength on a seaside holiday, and F. Scott Fitzgerald’s depiction of the unexpected liberation of a tortured young lover in Paris.
