A trip to the sea is meant to bring a young couple together. A night porter secretly feels attracted to his half-sister. A Japanese professor falls in love with a goddess. In "Love Among Aliens," Terézia Mora tells the stories of people who lose themselves but do not give up, who are lost but continue to hope. Of women and men who cannot admit their true feelings. With precise sobriety, Terézia Mora explores in each of the ten stories emotions that seem to have no outlet, and delves into the sometimes tragicomic longing for friendship, love, and happiness.
