There is only one thing better than love, and that is stories about love. This is the conclusion reached by a young woman after questioning a number of lovers who are all connected with each other in one way or another. The heart's most closely guarded secrets are revealed, and seduction and our willingness to be seduced by our own dreams and longings are the focal point of the story. What is it that triggers the famous coup de foudre, or love at first sight? The narrator hears all kinds of things about the beautiful illusion. Astonishing tactics come to light which tell how men and women protect themselves from disappointment. There is the man hunter, the girl collector, and also the heroic lover who remains doggedly true to her unrequited love. There are the melancholy sufferers who swear »never again« – until the next time. With a delightful sense of humour, and in a picturesque, unusually creative language, the authoress effortlessly intersperses her text with words of wisdom and self-knowledge. This is a small kaleidoscope of love in which each and every reader can find their own personal reflection. A kind of modern Decameron which describes the different stages and ways of being in love in an atmosphere of suspended eroticism.
