Have you ever felt that love is something you were never quite allowed to have?
In Love in Exile, Shon Faye explores why genuine connection feels so elusive, especially for women and especially for those on society’s margins. After the painful end of her first serious relationship, Faye began to wonder if this sense of exclusion was personal or political. Moving between candid memoir and sharp cultural critique, she unpacks the myths, expectations, and inequalities that make so many people feel they’re failing at love.
With honesty, wit, and fearless insight, Faye looks at romance, heartbreak, addiction, gender, and the stories we tell ourselves about what it means to deserve care. Love in Exile is as much a manifesto as it is a memoir—a brilliant, radical invitation to reimagine intimacy and belonging in a world that often asks too much and gives too little.
