Yes, it does happen, love at first sight, as Rosalie and Truffle discover under the apple tree. Their friends, however, know better. Love has to be earned, they say, you must play hard to get, work out, shape up, act like a man, and so on and so forth. So Rosalie puts on make-up, buys new dresses, does yoga – until Truffle no longer recognizes her. Truffle works out with dumbbells, invests in the stockmarket, and goes to the hairdresser – until Rosalie can't take him seriously any more. In the end, they both drag their misery back to the apple tree…
Lovingly and with much humour, Katja Reider's story describes what few dare to do today: give away their hearts. Jutta Bücker illustrates the torment and bliss of two very normal pigs with spirited strokes. And all readers with hearts to lose will surely lose them to her irresistable dancing truffle pig.
