Nowhere Girl

Estranged from Jonathon, her second husband, Clare Lyall is less sure than ever about the role men should play in her life. Her first husband, Richard, was much older than her, and his disregard for youth gradually hardened into indifference. And Jonathon, if anything, was too easy — too attentive, too concerned, too boring. So when she meets Joshua at a party, the offbeat Clare isn't exactly thirsting for love. But she is impressed when Joshua stubs his cigarette out on his thumb, and swayed further by the advice of her new friend Mrs. Fox. "Take a lover", she says, "it's better to have a lover when you're young than neurosis when you're old. . ".
