In "The Feelings of Prince Charles," a precursor to "The Reddest Rose Blooms," Liv Strömqvist first addresses the fundamental question of "what is love," reflecting on how and why romantic relationships exist. Prince Charles and Princess Diana, Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, historical figures, and pop culture icons illustrate how ideas about marriage have changed over the course of history, what has changed in social morality, and the place of love in all of this. By examining romantic relationships as a product of social and cultural norms, Strömqvist invites us to shed the straitjacket of heteronormativity and view them from a new perspective.
