Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The narrative explores a complex relationship between a teenage exchange student, Fritz, and his English host mother, whose letters spark controversy with his parents. While Fritz views their correspondence as a friendship, his parents see it as inappropriate, leading to a rift that lingers for decades. Decades later, Fritz reevaluates the situation upon rediscovering the letters, prompting a reflection on societal norms regarding boundaries. The author employs a non-representative survey to delve into the subjective nature of "common sense" in defining appropriateness in relationships.
