Reply #85: A memoir - "The Round-Heeled Woman" [View All]

This book is such a kick! I thought it was a novel then was very much surprised to see that it's a memoir!

The author was a teacher in San Francisco, had raised a son and been divorced for 20 or 30 yrs, been celebite all that time.

When was 66 she decided that she needed some "life," and wrote up a personal ad that she placed in the NY Times Book Review. It read "I want to have as much sex as possible with many men that I like before I turn 67 next March."

She received DOZENS of responses, that the book is her story of that year, including her new lovers, her teaching work, and her life changes.

Being someone on "her" side of 50, I'm finding the book as absolute delight.
