About this listen

 'This book is funny, wise, and joyfully obsessed with its subject'
MONICA HEISEY

'Endlessly witty, breathtakingly clever, a book you'll read in one sitting'
CAROLINE O'DONOGHUE

Smart, funny and passionate: An ode to a beloved genre and a brilliantly insightful piece of cultural criticism

Acclaimed author Ella Risbridger takes romantic fiction seriously, as a fan and a thinker, in this original new book, journeying through the genre's rich history and many fascinating iterations.

From Jane Austen to Jilly Cooper, regency romance to cowboys, vampires and fanfic, romance reflects the concerns of the age and continues to evolve in new directions, while consistently offering its readers pleasure. It deserves our attention!

In Love with Love is a tour through romantic fiction, a loving but sharp assessment of these books and our reading habits, and a celebration of generations of longing glances...©2025 Ella Risbridger (P)2025 Hodder & Stoughton Limited Literary History & Criticism
