Communion by bell hooks

Some books arrive right when you need them. This is one of those.

Renowned visionary and cultural theorist bell hooks began her exploration of love in American life with the critically acclaimed All About Love: New Visions. She continued the conversation with the bestselling Salvation: Black People and Love. Here, in Communion, she brings her remarkable trilogy of love to its heartfelt close.

Intimate. Revealing. Quietly provocative. Communion invites every woman to claim the search for love as a heroic journey, one worth taking to be truly free. With her trademark clarity and warmth, hooks examines how our ideas about women and love have been reshaped, by feminism, by women’s full presence in the workforce, and by the ever-growing culture of self-help.

This is the heart-to-heart talk we all need to have. The kind of book you underline, dog-ear, and press into a friend’s hands. Whether you’re a mother, a daughter, a partner, or simply a woman finding your own way, hooks writes as though she’s sitting right beside you.

We think it’s the perfect companion for a rainy afternoon by the cove, a cup of tea steaming, the sea air drifting in. Books like this ask to be lingered over.

Curated with care and waiting on our shelves, Communion is a small treasure of a read. Come discover it. We’d love to help you find your next favorite book.
