” A witty, evocative and poignant tale sizzling with sexiness and mischief. Read at your own risque! ” – Kathy Lette
When the sex in Vivien Quarry’s thirty-two-year marriage dwindles to nothing, her husband Geoff finally gives her a reason: ‘Men are hardwired to not find older women attractive’.
This unforgivable statement, uttered by a man long past his Adonis years, prompts Vivien to take drastic action. At sixty-seven, she most definitely doesn’t feel ‘past it’, and so enlists the services of the enigmatic Martin Glover from The Discretion Agency.
Under the sardonic eye of her oldest friend Jules, a world-famous operatic soprano facing the closing years of a brilliant career, Viv embarks on a series of wildly unpredictable, and sometimes hilariously cringeworthy dates – with wholly unexpected consequences.
Told with great humour and heart, the accomplished Virginia Duigan delivers a provocative and profoundly relatable story that proves living is not reserved for the young.
” With dry, wry wit, Duigan’s perspicacious, often poignant tale of middle-aged love and lust, not only sizzles with sexiness and mischief – it also proves that women do not pass our Amuse-by dates, but, like vintage vino, simply become more and more delicious. Read at your own risque! ” – Kathy Lette
” I was immediately captivated, frequently laughing out loud and admiring of Duigan’s skilful writing and smart dialogue. I loved it. ” – Liz Byrski
