Icarus In Love is a book that examines love in its various incarnation, eros, philos, and agape – mothers and children, self-love, love of God, etc. The connecting metaphor is Icarus, the boy who flew too close to the sun. Essentially, the book surmises that love can make you and it can break you, but it’s a moment in the sun worthy of the risk. The mood is reflective, joyous, and nostalgic.
