How Much the Heart Can Hold: Seven Stories on Love

‘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. The publication of How Much the Heart Can Hold is heralded by a Sceptre short story competition. The winning story, based on a concept of love, will be published in the paperback edition.
