La falta de amor se ha convertido en el presente en un fenómeno común. Bell Hooks nos propone retornar a él, aprender a amar, ensenar el amor desde la infancia, desafiar la generalizada idea de que el amor romántico es el único auténtico y asumir todas sus manifestaciones -el amor a si mismo, a la comunidad, a la pareja y aun el amor divino- con honestidad, ética y compromiso. En cada etapa de nuestra vida, en lo público y lo privado, el amor cura las heridas, nutre el espíritu y brinda paz. Todo sobre el amor es la profunda reflexión de una mujer sobre el poder transformador del amor, escrita con una cuidadosa combinación de calidez despojada de sentimentalismo y agudeza intelectual. Una obra fundamental que nos descubre una nueva manera de comprender el amor.
