As she contemplates their sustaining relationship, Susan considers how older lovers differ from their youthful counterparts--and from ageist stereotypes. When her husband encounters age-related disabilities, Susan procrastinates over moving from their burdensome house in the country to a more manageable town apartment by searching out literature on the longevity of desire by authors from Ovid and Shakespeare to Toni Morrison and Marilynne Robinson. During subsequent months of care-giving, her own ongoing cancer treatments, and apartment-hunting, Susan studies the obstacles many older couples overcome and marvels at the passion that buoys her own relationship. A memoir proving that love and desire have no expiration date, Late-Life Love is a resounding retort to negative valuations of old age and a celebration of second chances"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Gubar, Susan, $d 1944- 650 0 $a Older women $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Love in old age. 650 0 $a Spouses. 650 0 $a Women college teachers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Love in literature. 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print biographies and memoirs. 941 $a 7 945 $a lpt 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629014308.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20221122010900.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220517010358.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20200904010316.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20190620010653.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20190402012816.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20190323010133.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=773A32E44A0C11E9BBA6C62E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
