All for love, and nothing for reward. Is love the rosy, many-splendored thing that poets proclaim--or is it something altogether darker and more disturbing? Jill Tweedie’s eloquent and disarming account of her own experience of love vividly illustrates how painfully and slowly she learned a truth very different from the popular myth. She explores the very nature, process, and purpose of this most powerful of human forces--and the wrongs that have been done in its name over the centuries--and concludes that perhaps love is not all we need. This is both a searing portrait of love (and the passion it inspires) and a deeply personal and affecting account of this mysterious force and its effect on one woman’s life.

In the Name of Love

(New York: Pantheon, 1979) 196 pages

An outspoken British feminist recounts the horrors that have
been inflicted on women down thru the ages "in the name of love".
She explores common mistakes women make in their 'loving relationships'
--as illustrated by her first two marriages.
Her third marriage is characterized by equality and mutual respect.
A clever and well-fashioned book.
