Stunned by the sudden death of his wife, Bee, from fast moving cancer, 62-year-old Edward Schuyler finds himself the object of female attention. For he is a rare beast, an available man in a world where there are many more single women than attractive men. When his stepchildren, fearing he is lonely, place a singles ad in the New York Review of Books, the situation only escalates. Although he doesn’t feel ready to date nor particularly interested in finding a new woman in his life, he gradually reaches out to some of those who respond, with rather predictable results. Things get really complicated when his ex-fiancée, who left him literally at the alter decades ago, resurfaces. An enjoyable, if a bit hackneyed, romance. 304 pp.
