Short description
A passion for humanity drives Rona Altrows’s Key In Lock. The people in these entertaining yet poignant stories wrestle with self-doubt, ethical dilemmas, money problems, health issues. Yet somehow they survive and sometimes they even thrive.Extended description
Key In Lock also marks the return of Irene, beloved manager-in-all-but-name of Marjorie’s Lingerie introduced in A Run On Hose. This time Irene takes on issues as diverse as dating later in life, the effect of childlessness on a person’s psyche, stress incontinence, and the love rituals of banana slugs. Irene also brings us tales of her youth in the days of the polio epidemic and Vincent Price horror movies.Tags

So many in our youth-obsessed culture are convinced that life ends after forty. "Not so fast!" says Rona Altrow through the narratives of her "Key In Lock" characters. There is life. There is dating. Guess what? There is even sex!
If you feel like you are on some sort of birth-school-work-marriage-children-retirement-death time table - perhaps that is because you let someone else set it for you. Regardless of your age, I can guarantee you will enjoy ripping the time table in half, burning the pieces and dancing on the ashes along with the book's narrators.
