"Burgess' tender recollections... remind us that we tend to be defined by our great loves well after we have outlived them." - Elle Magazine
Love is always a leap of faith...
The Geography of Love is a powerful and moving exploration of a woman's life, of love tested by unthinkable circumstances, and of our ability to love and trust no matter what the odds. It is also a poignant love letter to a woman's great love, a man who had lost so much yet taught her to see every twist and turn that life offers as an adventure and an opportunity.
With echoes of Susan Duncan's Salvation Creek and Joan Didion's Year of Magical Thinking, this tender and intimate memoir asks the age-old question of whether it is better to have loved and lost than have never loved at all - and answers with a resounding yes.
