Editorial Reviews

Public radio producer, author, and public speaker Goldman (The Gifts of Caregiving) has compiled an inspiring book of stories from 22 World War II-generation couples who have recently found romance and built new relationships. Their experiences, documented in 22 chapters, demonstrate that people in their seventies, eighties, and nineties need love, companionship, intimacy, and sexual pleasure. Sadie and Max, for instance, find that at this stage in their lives there's not a lot to argue about. And Lillian and George feel that they're together in their heads, souls, and bodies. Goldman has put together an encouraging book for all to read, though seniors may best appreciate it. Recommended for public libraries. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
