520 $aThe first new novel from Doris Lessing in more
than seven years, Love, Again tells the story of a
sixty-five-year-old woman who falls in love. Or rather,
Sarah Durham falls into a state of love, which is another
country altogether, and struggles to maintain her sanity
while there. Widowed for many years, with grown children,
Sarah is a writer who works in the theater in London. When
she falls in love with a seductive young actor, the
beautiful and androgynous twenty-eight-year-old Bill, and
then with the more mature, thirty-five-year-old director
Henry, Sarah finds herself in a state of longing and desire
she thought the province of younger women. This richly
textured novel explores the affinities and connections
between romantic love, depression and grief, homesickness
and the emotional deprivations of childhood. The two men
with whom Sarah falls in love, one after the other, cause
her to relive her own stages of growing up, from immature
and infantile love to the mature.
