Erin McKean has composed the perfect valentine for the soft of heart and swift of tongue: an entire book of seductive phrases, terms of pure love and lust, and expressions designed to woo anyone in any language, from French and Chinese to Hindi and Serbo-Croat. One read and this lovely book will become your cucciola mia ("my little animal" in Italian). Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Love is a defining human quality, one that is inherent to all cultures. Expressions of love are powerful and magical, wherever you live and whatever language you speak. That's Amore! is a captivating collection of the language of love from around the globe, celebrating the universality as well as the diversity of this most sought-after state. Embracing more than 50 languages, learn how the French flirt and the Danes date. Discover that while both the French and the Italians are thunder-struck by love (coup de foudre and colpo di fulmine respectively), the Spanish are hit with Cupid's arrow (fue flechazo).

Surprising, eclectic, and endearing, this book is the perfect gift for your lover and any lover of words.
