SYNOPSIS

Human anatomy and affairs of the heart take on a whole new dimension in this book. Body Parts: The Anatomy of Love is a collection of stories, each one dedicated to a part of the human body and all on the theme of love. From head to feet via freckles and fingers, every aspect of the body is explored through stories that are humorous, at times disturbing and never predictable. By the end of Richard Bardsley's unforgettable journey, the agony and enchantment of love in all its guises has been expertly dissected.
