Bliv medlem af LibraryThing for at finde ud af, om du vil kunne lide denne bog. Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. A fine little collection of five unusual love stories, all very Irish in content and tone. In "The Day We Got Drunk on Cake," Mike is looking for love in all the wrong places--and constantly ringing up Lucy in his efforts to escape. "Lovers of Their Time" is the story of Norman Britt, a henpecked travel agent who falls for a shop girl in the 1960s. The title story focuses on wealthy widow Norah O'Neill who, unhappy with the fact that her son is closing down the toy factory that helped to make the family fortunes, offers the 'job' of husband to one of the employees. "Honeymoon in Tramore" is a bittersweet story of one-sided love and the sacrifices young Davy makes in its name. Barney Prenderville recalls his days as a student boarder, when he fell "In Love with Ariadne," the landlady's reserved, old-fashioned daughter. Trevor is a master at conveying his character's thoughts and feelings. I highly recommend this charming collection, part of Penguin's 'Great Loves' series.

Wealthy widow Norah O'Neill wonders if she will ever marry again. When her son decides to close the family's failing toy factory, the manager, a decent man who dances the quickstep beautifully, becomes unemployed. Suddenly, Norah sees her chance for happiness, in a new venture of her own. United by the theme of love, the writings in the Great Loves series span over two thousand years and vastly different worlds. Readers will be introduced to love's endlessly fascinating possibilities and extremities- romantic love, platonic love, erotic love, gay love, virginal love, adulterous love, parental love, filial love, nostalgic love, unrequited love, illicit love, not to mention lost love, twisted and obsessional love . . .
