In this episode, our book club reviewers have been celebrating love in all its forms.

In Love Stories,much-loved novelist and journalist Trent Dalton collects stories of love from the streets of Brisbane as an antidote to the heartache and pain of the pandemic. 

Sex and Vanity is Kevin Kwan's modern re-telling of EM Forster's Italian romance, A Room with a View. Just like Crazy Rich Asians, this story features the uber-wealthy elite who have more money than sense.

Still Life by Sarah Winman tells the story of Ulysses, a British soldier who starts a new life in Italy after he inherits a villa in Florence. Over four decades, he and his unconventional friends become family. It's a celebration of love, beauty, art and family.

That’s all in Episode 39 of the Hope Book Club – Because Life’s Just Better with a Book!
