An Affair to RememberThe Greatest Love Stories of all TimeMegan Gressor & Kerry CookAll the world loves a lover, so the saying goes. An Affair to Remember is a warm and intimate account of many of the world’s greatest love stories — captivating tales of grand passions, charismatic personalities and extraordinary exploits. Some of these affairs shocked the world, others altered the course of history. Included in this book are the stories of Lord Byron and Lady Caroline Lamb, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Edward VIII and Mrs Simpson, Napoleon and Josephine, Aristotle Onassis and Maria Callas, Victoria and Albert, Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn, and many more. But whether their outcomes were happy or tragic, all make fascinating reading — and all were affairs to remember.
