Brigitte Brandstötter’s book analyzes couples in which the woman is significantly older than the man. The author emphasizes the societal roles of the partners as well as the societal structures in which the relationships started and are lived in. Based on data gathered from interviews, Brandstötter provides detailed descriptions of the developments of some selected relationships from the initial establishment of the relationship up to the prospects after several years of living together. Implicitly, this study conveys the normative message that such relationships should not have to be a matter of discussion.
