Title: A Much Younger Man
Author: Dianne Highbridge
Pages: 214
Genre: Fiction
Interesting book and a fast read. It was set in Britain, so that was enjoyable. The only thing I didn't like was the way it was written and the "voice" the author used.
BLURB: The emergence of an abiding love between a schoolteacher in her 30s and the 16-year-old son of a longtime friend is the main event in this softly rendered, erotically charged debut from Tokyo-based Australian Highbridge. Hardly enamored of her work, Aly still dutifully grades her students' papers, not even daring to think that someone might come along and change her life forever, until Tom walks down the aisle of the commuter train to sit next to her. As the lovers here see nought but each other, the story sees little but them and their obsession, and in that context the heights and depths of passion and each frisson of delight are finely done.
