'Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold.'
Zelda Fitzgerald
Love is not a singular concept.
In this collection, seven award-winning authors explore seven concepts of love: from Philautia, self-love, to Agape, love for humanity; and from Storge, a natural affection for family, to Mania, a frenzied, obsessive love.
Seven authors; seven short stories; seven flashes of love.
This paperback edition of How Much the Heart Can Hold includes the winning short story from the SceptreLoves short story Prize.
