I've been meddling again. The book is comedy, but a laugh and cry kind of comedy, so, having done the light side, am giving its darker, Leonard Cohen themed, depths an airing.
Lonely back-up singer Sally Lightfoot is challenged to get out there and
lose her wididity, her born-again virginity, before she starts
crumbling into sexless middle age. Sally misses her dead husband too
much and anyway she's 50, passion and romance are a thing of the past.
But when Sally does meet a man who, if she could, she would, he doesn't
see her 'in that way'. Why should he when he still has the pick of girls
half her age? Does she dare make the first move? Can she fulfill her
friend's challenge and put passion back into her life? Or will she just
be making the biggest, most deluded fool of herself ever? One minute
this book has you laughing out loud, the next you are sobbing.
"Insightful and delightful, full of thoughtful dialogue and exceptional
clarity. Sally feels real, like a neighbor or a friend and that makes
the story take on a presence of its own. You will get lost in the story
and not want to put it down until it is finished." LESLIE WRIGHT,
