About the Book

It is estimated that one romance novel is purchased every few seconds in the English-speaking world alone. From Australia with Love examines this cultural phenomenon from the point of view of those who read them and those who write them. Juliet Flesch takes on the journalists, literary critics and feminists who so freely denigrate Australian romance novels and, in doing so, she lifts the veil of vitriolic criticism that shrouds these books. This is a witty and provocative book dealing with a subject long neglected in cultural and literary history.
