Known for her radical feminist and gothic fiction, the prolific Angela Carter would describe Love as being a devastating 'tragedy of contemporary manners...a total analysis of a complex, emotional situation, leaving nothing out, and being as honest as possible'.
Alongside Carter's novels Shadow Dance (1966) and Several Perceptions (1968), Love is often considered the third part of a Bristol Trilogy.
