What will you find on its pages?
Before publishing Everything I Know About Love Dolly Alderton was known for her popular “Dear Dolly” column in the Sunday Times. In it, the author responded to readers who wrote to her and continue to write to her in search of advice for her sentimental and sexual life, anxieties and obsessions.
«I had always wanted to be a sentimental counselor. When I was a teenager, I bought girls’ magazines and went straight to the doctor’s office,” explains the author in the book. “I think my obsession with having a practice may have been born from that desire: I wanted to be an experienced woman giving advice, not a clumsy schoolgirl lying in bed reading it,” she adds.
With a tender, empathetic and fun style that has been so in tune with readers, Dolly addresses topics such as breakups, friendship, toxic relationships, loneliness or nostalgia and does not waste the opportunity to de-dramatize and laugh at herself. “In creating this selection, I’ve reviewed all the advice I’ve put down in writing and seen that, although I’m no longer a tell-all writer, my most complicated emotions and my most sacred experiences are hiding in plain sight in these texts,” says the author. In fact, the public will also be able to identify with many of the problems raised.
With that same tender, empathetic and fun style that has so resonated with readers, journalist Dolly Alderton addresses topics such as breakups, friendship, toxic relationships, loneliness and nostalgia in her new book Dear Dolly and does not waste the opportunity. to dedramatize and laugh at herself.
