The Consequences of Longing by Peter Boody
Requirements: AZW3/ePUB/MOBI reader , 3.8 MB
Overview: Sometimes there's a kind of panic that takes over a man when he realizes he won't live forever and some secret part of his mind begins to catalogue all his sins and failures.
Male angst. Who cares?
Perhaps wives should.
The cozy, comfortable and modest little life of a happy couple, Jenny and Clifford Nelson, unravels when Clifford, a 40-something commuter airline pilot, develops heart trouble and loses his job. Something about the harrowing surgery he endures, and his newly acute awareness of mortality, turns the memory of an old girlfriend — the first girl he ever loved — into an obsession: he must learn what became of her. When he finds out, the news appalls him but does not end his craving for one more moment in her arms.
His search for her reveals a secret Clifford has been keeping from himself all along — a secret about life and loss that adolescent longings merely cloak.
Told both from Jenny's point of view and Clifford's, "The Consequences of Longing" is about the mysteries and clouds that cloak our lives and loves. Jenny, a woman with memories she works to hide, is the stronger figure — and yet somehow she is the most frail and vulnerable. And Clifford proves to have hidden much as well. Guilt for his older brother's disastrous life reveals itself as his own crisis unfolds.
This is an unusual midlife story with which both men and women can connect.
Genre: General Fiction
