Love and Other Delusions
The story of a married woman's long-term affair with a younger man. An old story with new twists: the best sex scene of any 2012 novel (probably), the best literary foreplay of any novel in 2012 (for sure), a seduction aided by the singing of Harry Nilsson, and a tale told by two women, one of whom is crazy. In Alice's world, it all made sense. She told her husband, "I stopped cheating on you when I started sleeping with Danny." He finally understood, but too late. Alice Marcher is dying, but she is still trying to understand her life. She was thirty when she met Danny Shay. He was eighteen. Two years later, they were sleeping together. Twenty years later, they parted. Alice insisted, "It lasted so long, so it must have meant something, right? We weren't a cliche, were we?"
