A Gorgeous Sense of Hope

She became a cartographer of the heart.

In A Gorgeous Sense of Hope, Magenta finds herself in possession of “a relationship of considerable consequence” that slowly loses its spark. Determined to save her love, she sets out on a love expedition, where she learns that the road to love can be rocky and full of twists and turns, but if we have the courage to stick with it, or perhaps even to forge our own path, it might just lead us to exhilarating heights and astonishing synchronicity in love.

Through all the seasons of the heart, this beautifully illustrated book candidly relates the “exquisite bubble” of new love, followed by the perils of “the insidious zone of complacency” where the shower of passion dries up and silence ensues. Finally, Magenta realises that the only guarantee of keeping the love she wants is to create the map for it herself.
