Yours Always

"I’ll just go on loving you in my deepest heart as I have done this very long time already." —**Loretta Young**

Love is the most celebrated of human experiences — yet it can also be the most devastating. This is a collection of passionate, deeply personal letters revealing the painful underside of love. Through the voices of well-known figures we catch a glimpse of what happens when love goes wrong.

Witness Winston Churchill ‘growl with anger to be treated with benevolent indifference’, and Edith Piaf reel in the throes of a ‘terrible’ passion. Through the beautifully-expressed letters of such literary icons as Charlotte Brontë, Oscar Wilde and Virginia Woolf, Hollywood stars Loretta Young, Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe, *Yours Always* offers an unusually intimate insight into the lives of great men and women.

Love is revealed here in its many shades of disharmony and confusion: unrequited, uncertain, imbalanced, unconventional, thwarted, failed and forbidden. Love is not always rose-tinted, and *Yours Always* illuminates the sorrows that can accompany falling in, falling out, and staying in love.
