About this book
Description
New Zealanders of all ages and from all walks of life share their special moments of love. Everyday, down-to-earth examples we can all relate to are mixed with stories of love that will challenge and inspire the way we think about love. Punctuated with famous quotations, Love in Aotearoa is a book for everyone from teenagers to grandparents. Karen McMillan uses the Greek words for the four different types of love: Eros (romance), Storge (family love), Philia (friendship) and Agape (love of humanity). In Eros, people share their experiences from first impressions to being married for more than sixty years. In Storge, Kiwis of all ages talk about the love they have for their children, their parents, their siblings and their extended family. In Philia, friends talk about the simple fun of friendship; and in Agape unsung, modest Kiwis take centre stage for a moment to talk about the caring they do and what motivates them. Love in Aotearoa also explores the five distinct ways that people communicate their love for one another - whether it be verbal words of love, physical touch, kind deeds, quality time or gift giving. It bursts from every page with the most powerful force in New Zealand - aroha, alofa, love.
