Ancient Greeks defined love in seven different ways because they recognised there is more than just romantic love. This book is a testament to the ‘Agape’: a universal love and selfless love for strangers, our surroundings, animals etc. A common example of this is the love and devotion religious people will have for their God.
This book expertly describes and shows this kind of love Kya has for nature.
Not only do we see Agape, we see other types of love in this book and it is just so beautifully done.
Not only do we see all elements of love, Delia Owens manages to weave in a murder- mystery throughout the novel that doesn’t take away from the personal and human aspect of Kya.
