| book description |

What is love all about? How do men and women's relationships work and what roles do the people involved in them end up playing? Is it the same for everyone? In this analysis of heterosexual love, Wendy Langford looks at many of the issues involved in today's relationships. Romantic love, the ""language of the heart"", the trouble with love and ""the problem of desire"" are just some of the subjects discussed. The author argues that the process of falling in love is essentially only a brief holiday from the gender roles which then reassert themselves in the old forms of domination and oppression. Whether the reader agrees with this or not, there can be few women involved in a relationship that will not recognize themselves somewhere in this book.
