- **Event Description**: Join us as we discuss whether bel hooks is right that we're getting love wrong. A Valentines Day event for everyone!About this Eventbel hooks All About Love - Alternative Valentines Day Book BrunchForget the consumerist version of Valentines Day, it's time to ditch the overpriced roses and cringe cards. This Valentine's Day, we're doing something different.Join us at Fish Island Books x Unlock for an afternoon of good food, good company, and honest conversation about love — guided by bell hooks' beloved book All About Love: New Visions.First published in 2000, hooks' powerful book has become a modern classic. In it, she argues that our culture has got love badly wrong: we've confused it with romance, with possession, with a feeling that simply happens to us. Real love, she suggests, is something else entirely — a practice, a discipline, a commitment to honesty, care, and growth. And it extends far beyond the romantic; to friendships, family, community, and crucially, to ourselves.It's a book that resonates whether you're single, partnered, somewhere in between, or actively dreading the 14th of February. This is Valentine's Day for the romantically sceptical, the curious, and anyone who suspects love deserves more than a Hallmark card.What to expectWe'll gather for a long, slow brunch — Italian roast pork shin with seasonal veg and a Neapolitan Yorkshire pudding (trust us on this one!)— then read passages from the book aloud together and open up the conversation. There's no prep required — you don't need to have read the book beforehand (though you're welcome to). Just bring yourself and an appetite.Ticket includes:A copy of bel hooks' All About Love (RRP £11.99) - pick up instore from 15th JanuaryItalian roast brunch, including a slow-cooked pork shank with potatoes and crispy vegetables, served with our focaccia (substitutes available - please let us know dietary requirements)A glass of house wine/beer/soft drink.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/236b6e00-f79b-11f0-ac63-75911b46e902-rimg-w987-h740-dc4a4546-gmir.jpg
