Metaphors: a Reverse Love Story (Volume 1) Steven Mcmann 1st edition

A ?must read? story for anyone interested in the beauty and challenges of late love. In "Love Story," Erich Segal told the romantic story of a Harvard hockey player from a wealthy New England family falling in love with a Radcliffe girl from a blue-collar background. Segal?s simple story of young love captured America?s heart, first in print and later on the big screen, and catapulted the obscure Harvard classics professor to fame and fortune. Now, forty-five years later, Steven McMann tells a reverse love story between two Harvard graduates late in life as they struggle to find love in spite of socio-economic, age and gender gaps. Steve is a never-married lawyer and book collector from an impoverished Michigan background, and Liz is a recent divorce from a wealthy blue-blood Boston family. They think their story of seasoned love with its emphasis on mutuality and explicit sex, as tempered by metaphor, opens the possibility for a deeper more realistic form of love. But will the practice prove as good as the theory? Enjoy the read.
