Introduction

Love, Again tells the story of a 65-year-old woman who falls in love and struggles to maintain her sanity. Widowed for many years, with grown children, Sarah is a writer who works in the theater in London. During the production of a play, she falls in love with a seductive young actor, the beautiful and androgynous 28-year-old Bill, and then with the more mature 35-year-old director Henry. Finding herself in a state of longing and desire that she had thought was the province of younger women, Sarah is compelled to explore and examine her own personal history of love, from her earliest childhood desires to her most recent obsessions. The result is a brilliant anatomy of love from a master of human psychology who remains one of the most daring writers of fiction at work today.

  "A depressed widow imagines having affairs with several different members that are cast in a play she is involved with."by Laura G. (see profile) 04/12/08

I had to slog through the book-it did get a little more interesting at the last few pages. I almost said chapters but it didn't have chapters. I just could not get interested in the characters.

 
  "65 year old woman facing her extreme loneliness."by Marianne S. (see profile) 04/10/08

Excellent writing but it was very hard for me to get interested in the "play within the book".
