Description
'Before I turn 67 - next March - I would like to have a lot of sex with a man I like. If you want to talk first, Trollope works for me.' - Small ad in the New York Review of Books
Jane Juska placed her ad in the New York Times and the response was overwhelming. She took a sabbatical from teaching just to have time to respond and meet some of the men - the result is this engaging, funny and utterly frank account of her exploits. It's high time someone revealed the fact that older single people are as eager for sex and intimacy as their younger counterparts. Jane Juska's brave and honest memoir raises eyebrows and blood pressure in what is undoubtedly an inspiring account of one woman's daring adventures in sex and romance.

Media Reviews
Real and raunchy! * Elle *
A moving meditation on the libido of the pre-baby-boomer, post-menopause generation. In case that sounds forbiddingly high-minded, rest assured that it is also raunchy * Daily Telegraph *
This is a memoir that sings with passion not just of the physical kind... A seamlessly wonderful read * Independent *
Juska is honest, graphic, funny and moving. What she's got to say is a challenge to our own preconceptions about elderly sex...her story is nothing short of inspirational * Daily Mirror *
Well-written as well as funny and brave * Spectator *
Sensational and unmissable * Tatler *
As brave, as humorous, as straightforward and as economically written as her original ad, which is why she has become a cause celebre, a poster girl for sex in the senior citizenry * Daily Telegraph *
Beautifully delineated, funny and moving * Sunday Telegraph *
