Love letters hold immense power, capable of evoking a range of emotions. They breathe life into words, expressing profound sentiments that can stir, soothe, and captivate. These letters, collected within this anthology, unveil the painful underbelly of love, revealing the raw and vulnerable aspects of human relationships.

Witness the anger and frustration of Winston Churchill as he grapples with being treated with benevolent indifference, while Edith Piaf succumbs to the depths of a torrid passion. Through the letters of literary icons such as Charlotte Brontë, Oscar Wilde, and Virginia Woolf, as well as Hollywood stars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, and statesmen like Henry VIII and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Yours Always offers an extraordinarily intimate glimpse into the lives of these illustrious figures.

Love manifests in myriad shades of discord and confusion: unrequited, uncertain, imbalanced, unconventional, thwarted, failed, and forbidden. It is not always adorned with rosy hues, and Yours Always sheds light on the sorrows that accompany the intricacies of falling in, falling out, and staying in love.

Within these pages, you will find letters exchanged between Charlotte Brontë, Richard Burton, Lord Byron, Winston Churchill, Marie Curie, Charles Dickens, Ernest Hemingway, Henry VIII, Ted Hughes, Graham Greene, Franz Kafka, Marilyn Monroe, Iris Murdoch, Edith Piaf, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Elizabeth Taylor, Oscar Wilde, Virginia Woolf, and W.B. Yeats. Each letter offers a unique window into the hearts and minds of these remarkable individuals, providing a glimpse into their personal lives and the profound impact of love on their lives and works.
