Inspired by a personal moment of profound love and generosity, bestselling author
And one of Australia's finest journalists — Trent Dalton spent two months in 2021 gathering stories on his sky-blue 1960s Olivetti typewriter, on a prominent street corner in Brisbane’s CBD.
Speaking to Australians from all walks of life, he asked them one simple thing: 'Can you please tell me a love story?'
What followed was Dalton’s unashamedly joyous collection of Love Stories - wise, poignant, funny and moving in all its guises.
