""Find your one true love and live happily ever after." The trials of love and desire provide perennial story material, from the BiblicalSong of Songsto Disney's princesses, but perhaps most provocatively in the romance novel, a genre known for tales of fantasy and desire, sex and pleasure. Hailed on the one hand for its women-centered stories that can be sexually liberating, and criticized on the other for its emphasis on male/female coupling and mythical happy endings, romance fiction is a multi-million dollar publishing phenomenon, creating national and international societies of enthusiasts, practitioners, and scholars. Catherine M. Roach, alongside her romance-writer alter-ego, Catherine LaRoche, guides the reader deep into Romancelandia where the smart and the witty combine with the sexy and seductive to explore why this genre has such a grip on readers and what we can learn from the romance novel about the nature of happiness, love, sex, and desire in American popular culture." -- Provided by publisher.

»Geographies of Love« is the first study to explore the cultural lifeworlds of British, Australian and Indian chick- and ladlit characters. Offering unique case studies including »Bridget Jones's Diary«, »About a Boy« and »Almost Single«, the book explores how women and men search for love and how they commit themselves to romances in specific spaces and places: the home and the office as well as shops, clubs and bars. This cross-disciplinary study provides scholars, students and keen readers with multiple points of access and easily-relatable situations. It applies the complex phenomenon of cultural geographies within the field of literary studies and sheds new light on a most passionate feeling. »[The book] makes most refreshing reading and offers innovative insights into highly complex cultural as well as spatial aspects of romance and their representation in literature one might not have expected in an analysis of the grand universal topic - ›boy meets girl.‹« Kerstin Hamacher-Lubitz, Anglistik, 28/2 (2017) »A highly interesting study.« Kerstin Hamacher-Lubitz, International Journal of English Studies, 28/2 (2017)

Rabih en Kirsten ontmoeten elkaar op het werk; ze worden verliefd, ze trouwen en krijgen kinderen – 'en ze leefden nog lang en gelukkig...' Helaas, geen enkele relatie is zo simpel. Weg van liefde onderzoekt wat er gebeurt als twee mensen verliefd worden, wat ervoor nodig is om de liefde te behouden en waarom het vaak toch misgaat. Met filosofisch inzicht en psychologische scherpzinnigheid toont Alain de Botton dat onze huidige romantische idealen ons veel schade kunnen berokkenen en geeft alternatieven voor een nieuwe romantiek. De conclusie is – zoals de personages in dit boek zullen ondervinden – dat langdurige liefde vooral een 'vaardigheid' is die wij ons langzaam en met de nodige moeite eigen maken. Weg van liefde is een herkenbaar, verhelderend en hoopgevend verhaal over hoe een liefdesrelatie in de eenentwintigste eeuw kan standhouden en tot bloei kan komen.
