About this listen
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 30 years. A divorced mother has a secret love affair with a priest. A geologist discovers 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 photographs of her late husband down from her fridge. A girl writes a last letter to the man she loves most, then sets it on fire. 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, Trent Dalton, best-selling author and one of Australia's finest journalists, spent two months in 2021 speaking to people from all walks of life, asking them one simple and direct question: Can you please tell me a love story? The result is an immensely warm, poignant, funny, and moving book about love in all its guises, including observations, reflections and stories of people falling into love, falling out of love, and never letting go of the loved ones in their hearts. A heartfelt, deep, wise, and tingly tribute to the greatest thing we will never understand and the only thing we will ever really need: love.
"It's the kind of book that has some impact on the reader...a Chaucerian endeavour, a rich caravanserai of real, living people with something important to tell." (Sydney Morning Herald)

Smiling and crying
Thank you so much for this book - I recognised my own people amongst some of these stories of love - I used to write letters a lot and somehow it slipped away - now I want to pick up my pen and a clean sheet of paper - the trouble is all the ones I wrote to are now gone…smiling through the tears

Must read for all Australians
I was looking for an easy-listening audiobook. Something to take my mind away from the stress of work and deadlines. This book took my stress and transformed it into a deep reminder of how much I love and cherish every human (and pet) in my life. Beautifully told stories that made me feel proud to be Australian.

Thanks mate.
Hard to keep the eyes from welling up with each story. Trent has such a lovely way of describing simple experiences and heartfelt recollections. It reminds me of how lucky we are when we have a special person to share our lives with.
We’ll done Trent. I’m sure Cath would be super chuffed.

Best audio book I have ever heard
This is one book I will read and listen to again and again. It put a smile on my face while walking with my daughter and dogs every morning. While scrubbing the bathroom once a week. While on the ride on Lawn mower in the evenings and of course while driving to and from work.
I wish I could express exactly how amazing and heart warming listening to Trent read his own words.
