Once upon a very recent time in New York City, there was a couple,
two ordinary single people who met the way city people meet. Even
though mismatched, they fell in love. And after some hesitations
they decided, finally, to marry-only to look up and find their
world caving in around them.
Sexy, vivacious Elisa, of the miniskirts and tiny T-shirts,
still in art school and just coming off an affair with a
temper-driven fellow artist, initiated things. She came on to cool,
quiet Gabe who wore his hair in a graying ponytail and kept a low
profile. A good bit older than Elisa-more than twenty years older,
in fact-he found himself buoyed by her youth and her brashness. To
her great surprise, Elisa craved Gabe's watchfulness and
solicitude.
That Gabe's past included a successful drug dealing business
bothered her not at all. And certainly he was unconcerned that
Elisa's more current past included a lot of casual sex. Neither of
them ever expected to have to answer for what had been so easy for
Gabe and so enjoyable for Elisa. But truth be known, the one
obvious thing they had in common was the burden their pasts
suddenly put onto their future.
Joan Silber has written a love story for the turn of the
twenty-first century, one that takes into rich account the styles
and pressures of contemporary urban life. But more than that, she
has created two characters who throb with real-life personality,
passion, and courage.
