The Toyboy Diaries 2: The Daily Male

By Wendy Salisbury

THE DAILY MALE picks up where THE TOYBOY DIARIES left off. Wendy, now sixty, is embarking on yet another brick-wall relationship with a man young enough to be her son. Her friends despair of her, her ever-increasing brood of grandchildren demand more of her, her ailing antiques business worries her - is it time for her to hang up her lacy lingerie and seek stability with a more suitable suitor? Wendy vows to stay on the toyboy wagon and take love seriously for a change. But in this voyeuristic peek through her private diaries, we find her lost in another maze of men: the Turkish plasterer, the cranky architect, the Club Med manager, the army Captain By day a devoted grandmother, by night a thrill-seeking siren, Wendy juggles mashed banana and nappies, Calvin Kleins and caviar. But can she ever satisfy her hunger for young lovers? Can an older man provide her with the passion that she needs?

Wendy Salisbury

Wendy Salisbury is an author, broadcaster, linguist, social commentator, and antique dealer. Her monthly magazine columns led her to write a lifestyle guide: Move Over, Mrs Robinson, and when the chapter on older women/ younger men provoked mass media interest, she responded with two volumes of dating memoirs: The Toyboy Diaries and The Daily Male, now adapted as a stage musical. Wendy’s tempestuous travels through Spain in the 1960s researching the biography of iconic matador, El Cordobés, inspired her roman à clef Blood on the Sand, the true story behind the gore and the glamour. Wendy divides her time between London and Marbella and embraces the gift of five grandchildren and two granddogs.
