The time: now, more or less. The place: Visby. The theme: love. Of course. In midlife the four narrators find themselves affected by the destabilising, troublesome power of love. Who would have thought that the Montessori nursery and the Rotary Club could cause so many problems in the lives of parents and those hell-bent on a career? In this sometimes serious, sometimes comic contemporary novel, Carina Burman describes with assured stylistic finesse life choices, infidelity, daydreams, the dullness of everyday life, depression, teenagers and small children. "Love Story" is a modern portrayal of life in the age of rock music, computer games and crime stories.
