To celebrate her 80th birthday, Dame Fiona Kidman has brought together 13 of her short stories to explore what it means to love.
They're selected from almost half a decade of writing, and include several new stories.
Over the years she's published more than 30 books of short stories and poems as well as novels, non fiction and a play.
Just last year her novel This Mortal Boy won New Zealand's top fiction prize, the Booklovers Award and the Ngaio Marsh Award.
Fiona's called this latest collection All the Way to Summer.
