Critics Review
Praise for This is Also a Love Story:
‘In this original and heart-warming book, Sally Hayden chronicles both the astonishing acts of bravery that love inspires, as well as the touchingly ordinary connections people make in extraordinary times. By finding beauty amidst ugliness, she finds a way of making our fractured world whole again’ Lindsey Hilsum, author of I Brought The War With Me
‘Sally Hayden’s gorgeous work of reportage shows us that in the midst of war, around the most acute suffering, there is also tremendous heroism’ Nathan Thrall, author of A Day in the Life of Abed Salama
‘Sally Hayden is a reporter of the first order … A searching, deeply moving work that documents how life and love persist against seemingly insurmountable odds’ Jonathan Blitzer, author of Everyone Who Is Gone Is Here
‘A beautiful book, as heart-lifting as it is heartrending … strikes to the very heart of why we, as foreign correspondents, are drawn to these places despite the risk. Because we know what we will find there: love against all odds’ Leila Molana-Allen, Special Correspondent, PBS Newshour
‘Profoundly affecting … it is salutary to be reminded of the spotlights of love and altruism that illuminate even the darkest of stages’ Bookseller
