This is a very tender and funny novel. The author mines the unpredictable fallout of suddenly becoming single later in life, and the chaos and joys of falling in love the second time around.
The main character is Edward Schuyler, a modest and bookish, sixty-two year old science teacher who is widowed and finds himself ambushed by female attention.
He begins dating, torn between his loyalty to Bee's memory and his growing longing for connection.
Just when he thinks that he has the game figured out, a chance meeting proves again that love arrives when you least expect it.
The novel celebrates the endurance of love and its thrilling capacity to bloom anew.
