ЛЮБОВЬ... ЛЮБОВЬ?

Так называется книга английского писателя Стена Барстоу. Это книга о юноше и девушке, которые встретились и понравились друг другу. Через некоторое время он понял, что это ошибка, что это не любовь, но было уже поздно. Они поженились и стали жить в доме ее матери. Их семейная жизнь была несчастливой. Однако молодые люди решили начать всё сначала, уехать из дома родителей жены, но это уже конец книги.

В книге Стена Барстоу описывается обычная, повседневная жизнь. Фамилия героя, Браун, одна из самых распространенных в Англии. Ничего нет романтического и в том, как познакомились Вик Браун и Ингрид (они работают на одном заводе). Он забыл дома деньги и просит ее купить ему билет в автобусе.

Книга обсуждает проблемы, которые важны и интересны для молодежи любой страны, помогает им лучше понять себя и других.
