‘As intriguing and delightful as an afternoon spent rummaging through a well-stocked secondhand bookshop. An eclectic, colourful and often personal array of images of the human heart through history, for those who love cultural trivia.’ Observer
‘Wonderfully eclectic. Young’s range of reference is enormous and she is breezily at ease with it, moving nimbly from Burt Bacharach to Jeremiah in one sentence. The book is beautifully produced, there are numerous pictures, some startlingly strange, many beautiful. But although the book looks like a box of chocolates, and offers correspondingly assorted and delicious satisfactions, it is harder-centred than it appears. Young’s commentary on her material is astute and illuminating.’ Lucy Hughes-Hallett, Sunday Times
‘“The Book of the Heart” makes emotive reading. It entranced me, and caused a lifestyle revolution. While reading it, I stopped using salt or butter, gave up booze, started jogging and, for the first time ever, started making doting daily phone calls to my Significant Other, hundreds of miles away. This ambitious book could so easily be pretentious, but instead remains disarming, canny and beguiling. It is like Jack Horner's dream of a Christmas pie: wherever you put in your thumb, you will dig out the juiciest of plums.’ Independent
