"Helene Pascal chronicle of her experiences of the dating
world shines by its insights and humour as she relates her
quest to find a partner in her sixties through the personal
pages in national newspapers.
This account
of her various attempts to find a mate with whom to “talk,
share, laugh and do things” is totally compelling and will
resonate with many single mature women who, for diverse
reasons, find themselves on their own later in life, wish to
share the many years ahead with a good man, and know they
still have a lot to give.
With her
background in psychology and counselling, Helene Pascal is
able to give real insight into the human need for closeness
and companionship whatever our age, and our visions of love
developed through childhood and later experiences.
Her meetings
with many men on her journey to find happiness are variously
moving, heart-breaking, puzzling and hilarious, and we
marvel at the strength of our need and our capacity for
hope. It all makes for gripping reading, as we share
Helene’s dreams to find a good male companion at a time in
life when we all have to face up to ageing and the threat of
solitude.
I just
couldn’t put it down, I had to discover if she found love in
the end!" |
