The Cure for Love by Jonathan Bate

The Cure for Love by Jonathan Bate

This is a compelling first novel that examines the dreams and reality of romantic love and the faith required between two people when they become interchangeable. An Englishman is found wandering at the foot of a rocky bank deep in the Scottish countryside. He has no memory of how he got there and no means of identification. Under the care of his doctor, Laura, `William' - the name he adopts - begins a desperate search to recover his memory and his identity, a quest that is more complex and tortuous than either of them could have anticipated. Laura's own life begins to change as she finds herself increasingly drawn to the man they both think they are discovering. This is a rich and original exploration of an enduring theme: the search for the ideal and the inevitable and painful discovery of the self. The Cure for Love is a paperback original.

Jonathan Bate is the author of The Genius of Shakespeare, also published by Picador. He is an internationally acclaimed Shakespeare scholar, and has held teaching posts at Cambridge, Yale, Harvard and the University of California. He is currently Professor of English Literature at the University of Liverpool.
