George Bookman is a retired librarian and a widower. Five years after the death of his wife, George comes to the sudden realization that he wants to treat himself to something special while he's still young enough to enjoy it. So, George makes a deal with the owner of a high-end bordello in northern Nevada; twenty-six trysts with twenty-six different women, every other Wednesday, for one year. Will he come to embrace that decision or regret it?This book is about loneliness, grief, philosophy, politics, controversies, and epiphanies. Oh, and it's also about intercourse, both the social and the sexual kind, although George claims that the sex is just the icing on the cake. Well, you can't always have your cake and eat it, too.
