WHITHER NOW?

What is it about a young woman wearing stockings and a suspender belt, and no knickers, which stirs the baser instincts in a man?
David Dunlop, having left his wife of twenty-nine years, thinks back over the other women in his life. His first love was Annie, back when he was twelve and love was pure. And then, years later, he found his first steady girlfriend, Wendy, and the thrill as love and teenage fumbling became interwoven. Carol came next, teaching him confidence and where fumbling could occasionally lead. And then it was Gina, and with her he had never been more fulfilled. With Gina there was ecstasy. But Gina had also brought heartache. The highs were high but the lows were often lower than he could bear. And much later there was chubby Cynthia; and Grace who believed they would marry. There was Paula, already married. Paula only wanted sex. And lastly there had been Jenny, whom he’d married. But Jenny won’t have him back. He can’t understand why sex and love, which had brought so much excitement into his earlier life, had now left him with nothing but loneliness, and memories. Why had the fire in his chest died? Would there be more to come? Where would he again find the thrill of just being with Annie, or the ecstasy that Gina had brought into his life?
Another great work from the prize-winning author of The Crying Stones (The Lucinda Legacy).
