Have you ever been at a dinner party and suddenly realised there is no real conversation going and wished for ideas to start a really good one?

Most of us have known the heady joy of conversations that can go on all night. As teenagers and students, we had an opinion on everything. But as we get older, the humdrum of domestic life gets louder and we begin to lose touch with ourselves. This book will encourage you to think anew, and is as much about self-knowledge as getting to know those we share our lives with.
In THE CONVERSATIONS Olivia Fane has written sixty six short essays, all thought-provoking and some provocative, all aimed at providing starting points for conversations: on happiness, on vanity, on the Soul (according to Plato), on infidelity, on education ... and many more. Whether you agree with Olivia, or vehemently disagree, THE CONVERSATIONS will provide endless food for thought. Something different, something freewheeling. An alternative and surprising window into a partner or a friend, or even yourself.
