Love's Terror

And Other Stories
Published by Diogenes as Liebesterror
Original Title: Terror ljubvi
The young actress Nonna and her director Zarenkov were an attractive couple even if he was twenty years older than she was. It could have been a remake of Pygmalion. But »after all, Dr. Higgins did not have a mother-in-law.« A mother's love is something beautiful, but when a mother gets involved in the love life of her grown-up daughter, it becomes a problem. At the latest when her mother says after a secret meeting with the ex-wife of her future son-in-law: »Just what I was afraid of: He is a big mouth and a ladykiller«, things can become critical. And when mummy also manages to move in with the freshly married couple, love's terror is on the menu, because after all, a mother only wants the best for her child. Four stories about all kinds of love: motherly love, charitable love, erotic love, and romantic love.
