Letting Go

this book is about discovery. whether it be emotional or intellectual, it is an opening up of the senses to the world around each of the characters in the individual stories. a young girl rudely made aware of the grown-up dangerous world of sex. an elderly dean of a university who is suddenly exposed to the charms of a glorious golden young man. a woman on the verge of menopause who is drawn to quick-sex, but finds she has bitten-off more than she can chew when she chooses a young truck driver. an irish spinster who has yearned after a man for fifty odd years and then finds better things await her as she begins her seventieth decade. a young irish girl who finds her life in london complicated by the advances of her stuffy boss and the emotional bombardment of an upper class twit.
