An inspiring novel; a philosophical love story; a moving ode to a
woman, as joyful and celebratory as it is elegiac. The narrator is
a man in his forties, a scholar of ancient Greek philosophy known
as Hoo. He has been given the nickname by Mellie, the woman he
addresses in this book while exploring his memories of their years
together and apart. The two of them have known each other since
high school in New York in the 1950s - and perhaps, Hoo thinks,
much longer than that. Only as the novel unfolds do his reasons for
writing to her, and the full nature of their relationship, become
clear.
