    About this ebook

    An unapologetically romantic novel about a woman who finds love in middle age
    After four marriages and numerous affairs, famed author Hermione Beldame doesn’t expect real life to play out like her bestselling romance novels. So she’s stunned when she meets George Johnson at a party and the Louisville journalist sweeps her off her feet. The handsome, seductive younger man is the epitome of southern charm. Suddenly, Hermione, who never believed in happily-ever-after, is passionately, obsessively in love.
    During this game-changing summer, as she shuttles between Manhattan and the Hamptons, Hermione—born Elsa Schutz—looks back on her life and the choices that brought her to this crossroad. Consumed by an erotic longing she’s never felt before, she sets out on a quest to understand her past, her present, and her future, set in motion by this maddening, elusive, ultimately unknowable man.

      I added this book to our library display of love stories and ended up taking it out. It was unconventional in that the love story was a fantasy yet HErmione believed in it despite her career as a romance novelist and her life experience. I though French was somewhat didactic but also clever in showing the many faces of love.
    • 5/5
      Une belle vision du féminisme des années 90, et une jolie réflexion sur l'amour à 60 ans.
