Dating has never been a walk in the park. The path to true love has always been fraught with heartache, but do we have it any easier today? How did Victorians navigate the dating scene? How did love blossom in war-torn Europe? And why did 80s video-dating never catch on? Bursting with little-known facts and tantalizing tales of lovelorn men and besotted women, Nichi Hodgson's intriguing history of amorous relationships, from enamored Georgians to frenziedly swiping millennials (and everyone in between), may leave you grateful that you live and love in the modern age.
