In the tradition of La Rochefoucauld and the great moralists of the salon, The Undeceived Heart is a contemporary collection of maxims on human nature. Across ten chapters and one interruption, Surinder Lall examines the disguises self-love wears, the costumes interest puts on, and the small fictions that hold the social fabric together. The book draws blood politely.
The undeceived heart is not a cold one. It loves with its eyes open, which is to say, it loves for real.
