We all expect to live longer than ever before. But what awaits us in the land-beyond-fifty? Will passion and lust simply disappear in those "sunset years"? Will the joy of sex, one of the driving forces of our younger days, be diluted into what is euphemistically called "the comfort of companionship"? In this narrative, richly punctuated with examples from literature and biography, Eileen Simpson takes a realistic look at love and marriage in later life. Based on numerous interviews with people over the age of fifty-five (some are in their sixties and seventies) who fall in love and marry, she analyzes the choices these men and women make. They reveal how they met, how they expressed their love and sexual feelings, how they set up their households, the reactions of their grown children to the new spouses, and difficulties the partners faced in their new life.
