About the book

At age 62, Corinne must grapple with the most painful truth that her lifelong passion--which is anyone's passion, to love and be loved, body and soul--could burn unquenched forever. Gripping, smart, suspenseful, and at times, wonderfully witty, Douglas's widely acclaimed novel forms a searching and searing record of love, anger, confession and discovery.

First sentence: I've put it off, sometimes easily, without even thinking, sometimes painfully, sometimes believing I was not putting it off at all, for-how long?
