Trent Dalton, Australia's best-loved writer, goes out into the world and asks a simple, direct question: 'Can you please tell me a love story?'

A blind man yearns to see the face of his wife of thirty years. A divorced mother has a secret love affair with a travelling priest. A widower miraculously finds a three-minute video recorded by his wife before she died. A tree lopper's heart falls in a forest. A working mum contemplates taking the photographs of her late husband down from the fridge. A girl writes her last letter to the man she loves, then sets it on fire. An ageing gigolo regrets the one that got away. A palliative care nurse helps a dying woman converse with the angel at the end of her bed. A renowned 100-year-old scientist ponders the one great earthly puzzle he was never able to solve: 'What is love?'

Endless stories. Human stories. Love stories.

Inspired by a personal moment of profound love and generosity, bestselling author – and one of Australia's finest journalists – Trent Dalton spent two months in 2021 pounding city pavements, speaking to Australians from all walks of life and asking them one simple and direct question: 'Can you please tell me a love story?' For two straight weeks he sat at a desk with a sky-blue 1960s Olivetti typewriter, on the bustling corner of Adelaide and Albert streets, Brisbane, with a sign saying, 'Sentimental writer collecting love stories. Do you have one to share?'

The result is Love Stories – a warm, wise, poignant, funny and moving book about love in all its guises, including stories, observations and reflections on lovers in parks; people in cemeteries, hospital wards, pubs and bingo halls; and newlyweds walking out of registry offices. There will be stories of people falling into love, falling out of love, and never letting go of the loved ones in their hearts. And woven through it all will be remembrances of Trent's own special moments, and of the people whose love stories have made him the man and writer he is today.

A heartfelt, deep, funny, wise and tingly tribute to the greatest thing we will never understand and the only thing we will ever really need: love.

Инти Флинн прибывает в Шотландию вместе со своей сестрой-близняшкой Эгги, чтобы возглавить команду биологов, цель которых — вернуть к жизни лес и спасти местную популяцию серых волков от вымирания. Для героини возможность повлиять на сохранение стремительно меняющегося ландшафта Северо-Шотландского нагорья — это еще и попытка разобраться в собственной драматичной судьбе, разрушенной ужасными тайнами, приведшими их с сестрой в Европу из далекой Аляски.

Инти уже не та, кем была когда-то. Боль и страдания, которые люди причинили не только ей, но и окружающей природе, навеки изменили женщину. Однако, воодушевленная первыми успехами эксперимента с волками, она начинает возрождаться и верить в лучшее. Может, и у нее есть шанс на счастье?

Ситуация меняется, когда местного фермера находят мертвым. Все население готово ополчиться против волков, но героиня уверена, что они здесь ни при чем. Инти решает во что бы то ни стало защитить животных. Но если дело не в волках, кто тогда виновен в гибели человека? И как она поступит, узнав, что к убийству может быть причастен ее новый возлюбленный?

Захватывающая и увлекательная история женщины, отчаянно пытающейся спасти тех, кто ей дорог, пока ее окончательно не поглотила природная стихия, некогда служившая надежным убежищем.

Много лет спустя тридцатипятилетняя Джой возвращается в родительский дом, чтобы ухаживать за тяжело больным мучителем. И, к собственному удивлению, встречает там свою "идеальную" сестру Рут.

Award-winning writer Katrina Nannestad transports us to Russia and the Great Patriotic War and into the life of Sasha, a soldier at only six years old ...

Wood splinters and Mama screams and the nearest soldier seizes her roughly by the arms. My sister pokes her bruised face out from beneath the table and shouts, 'Run, Sasha! Run!' So I run. I run like a rabbit.

It's spring, 1942. The sky is blue, the air is warm and sweet with the scent of flowers. And then everything is gone. The flowers, the proud geese, the pretty wooden houses, the friendly neighbours. Only Sasha remains. But one small boy, alone in war-torn Russia, cannot survive. One small boy without a family cannot survive.

One small boy without his home cannot survive.

What that small boy needs is an army. From the award-winning author of We Are Wolves comes the story of a young boy who becomes a soldier at six, fighting in the only way he can - with love. But is love ever enough when the world is at war?
