Rezensionen
"In her study, the author is primarily concerned with the social phenomena of age-dissimilar relationships and romantic love, and most importantly with how ideas, discourses and experiences of autonomy and relatedness are interplayed within such relationships. ... this is a very welcome book for all those interested in studies of interpersonal relationships, from sociology, family studies or social and cultural anthropology." (Ana Dragojlovic, The Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology, Vol. 18 (2), February, 2017)

"This very accessible anthropologically informed, book presents a new and interesting addition to the existing literature on relationships. ... this is an extremely well-researched and comprehensively theorised book that adeptly straddles anthropology, sociology and psychology. It would therefore be of interest to those interestedin emotions, families or relationship studies whether coming from any of those discipline backgrounds." (Julia Carter, Anthropological Forum, Vol. 26 (2), 2016)
