On Susan Gubar's seventieth birthday, she receives a beautiful ring from her husband, a gift that startles her into an appreciation of their luck. As she contemplates their sustaining relationship, Susan considers how older lovers differ from their youthful counterparts--and from ageist stereotypes. When her husband encounters age-related disabilities, Susan procrastinates over moving from their burdensome house in the country to a more manageable town apartment by searching out literature on the longevity of desire by authors from Ovid and Shakespeare to Toni Morrison and Marilynne Robinson. During subsequent months of care-giving, her own ongoing cancer treatments, and apartment-hunting, Susan studies the obstacles many older couples overcome and marvels at the passion that buoys her own relationship. A memoir proving that love and desire have no expiration date, Late-Life Love is a resounding retort to negative valuations of old age and a celebration of second chances"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 305.26209 Gu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Biography B Gubar Gu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.26209 Gubar Gu Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Biography B Gubar Gu Checked In Add Copy to MyList
