After

Résumé du livre

His grown daughter reverts to a rebellious stage and questions their earlier relationship. He has become, he realizes, a single parent in his fifties. Unattached women evince a new found interest in his well-being and a young woman develops designs on his spare bedroom. In fact, she moves in. The relationship is strictly platonic for about two minutes, until they're torridly involved. Neighbors are scandalized, the guys at the barbershop are delighted and maybe a little envious, and Harry is bereft and revived both as he struggles with the newfound knowledge that their vows were wrong. They may be parted but remained joined in defiance of time, cosmically and completely. And that it is the natural order of things for the joy of their love to inform his life.
