Late-Life Love: A Memoir

In this "unique blend of memoir and literary commentary" (Bookpage), acclaimed author and literary scholar Susan Gubar contemplates the beauty and strength of enduring love--both for her husband and for the literature that has shaped her life. Throughout the complications of devoted caregiving, her own ongoing cancer treatments, and a stressful move to a more manageable apartment, Gubar proves that love and desire have no expiration date--on the page or in life. Late-Life Love offers a resounding retort to ageist stereotypes, appraises the obstacles unique to senior couples, and celebrates second chances.
