Everyone loves a lover, and people have always been fascinated by love stories. The oversized volume entitled Love: A Century of Love and Passion by Florence Montreynaud is an in-depth look at some of the most famous couples of the 20th century. Beginning in 1900 and continuing by decade to 1998, Montreynaud documents the known and the unknown, including Albert Einstein and Mileva Maric, John and Jackie Kennedy, and Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love — which proves love makes strange bedfellows. Particularly poignant is the final article on the incredible love story of Paul and Linda McCartney, and Paul’s unwavering devotion to his wife during her final days.
Valiant Women is a vital and engrossing attempt to correct the record and rightfully celebrate the achievements of female veterans of World War II.
