A review by seasider
Prinssi Charlesin tunne by Liv Strömquist
2.0
Again, finding it hard to laugh at matters like this.
Theme: love
Style: sarcasm
Not easy to digest for me.
The book states that love is like a modern religion. But between the lines it suggests that love is like an infection - and that when you are sick you deserve contempt. Dramatic relationships are often traumatic relationships, so why pick on those viciously?
As someone stated in his review earlier, Strömquist wants to use sources to liven up the narrative, but excludes vital sources. She builds a cold narrative. It would not require much to include views such that people want a safe unit to secure their existence - not just for money, but because in life there are people (and books) laughing at your feelings and you would want to be sure there is someone around you that assures you are not ridiculous (and when you are, it's cute). If a polygamous relationship works, fine, but we tend to be careful with our hearts and the more people are in, the more potential drama, as everyone brings their baggage to the relationship.
I never liked the comedy series mentioned in this book either. But I hope that no-one takes them nor this book as an advice on love life. They are just polarization.
As are reminder: we know nothing about the real Prince Charles' feelings. He has stayed with Camilla, a woman he reportedly wanted to marry in the first place, for decades now, so that should suggest something.
