i love questions. questions give answers, answers that have the power to help us get a better understanding ourselves.
this book follows a true account of a hopeless relationship i had a few years ago and the frustrations and curiosity this brought out in me. it is a book full of questions, questions i ask myself, and questions i ask of the people in my life.
this hopeless lunchtime relationship was one of meals accompanied by copious glasses of wine and banal conversation. this triggered my brain to explore and provoke my companion in an almost perverse desire to discover if there was any meaningful thought process going on in his brain.
i expect to be damned for my bad behaviour. i degraded his good intentions. this ill-fated relationship between a man and a woman in their seventies has nothing that could redeem it; no chemistry, no intellect, no friendship. he was excruciating and I was scurrilous. this situation held such a fascination for me i had to write this book. have others experienced such disgraceful behaviour? if you ask questions you find people more interesting…except in this case. this lunchtime relationship was the exception.
Despite all that, there is a happy ending….even if it’s not happily ever after.
