The Ache of the Soul: Writings

About this book

Magda Gado reflects on love and the difficulty of understanding it. Why can fear, anger or hatred seem easier to explain? And why does one person become the focus of attachment when others may share so many of their qualities? These writings consider how getting to know a loved person over time may reveal a gap between that person and an imagined picture. Familiarity, boredom and unmet needs are offered as possible reasons for changes in feeling, rather than definitive explanations.
