Love is something that everyone strives to attain. The theme of extraordinary love among ordinary people flows through Charles Baxter’s novel, The Feast of Love. In a series of vignettes, a coffee owner remembers when his wife achieved a moment of perfection while an adolescent couple sits at a nearby table and develops their own love. When a philosophy professor stops for coffee, he shares his professional insights on what makes people fall in love — and why it can be so difficult. | The Feast Of Love by Charles Baxter, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
