This Is Also a Love Story
From the Orwell Prize-winning author, This Is Also a Love Story chronicles both the astonishing acts of bravery that love inspires, as well as the touchingly ordinary connections people make in extraordinary times. Her book is a powerful account of human resilience in an era defined by crisis—war, displacement, climate collapse and inequality—drawing on Hayden’s reporting from some of the darkest moments of our time.
