"I sometimes wished someone would invent a dictionnaire d'amour—a lover's dictionary listing all the weird and wonderful ways in which humans show their love. An inordinate number of men choose to repair things; other people frantically rebuff compliments, and still others stubbornly conceal their love so as not to pester anyone. A dictionary—yes! Of course, it could never be comprehensive."
⸻ from Nina George, The Little Village of Book Lovers, p. 24
I got this book last week, as a Christmas present from Debbie. So naturally I have to wonder, … is "buying someone a book of fiction in which the story is actually narrated by Love" one of these "weird and wonderful ways" that would show up in such a dictionary?
