The novelette covers three days spent between an elderly disabled man and a younger, but mature woman, following a chance meeting in a bus station. The book is true to life, funny in parts but encloses important questions that challenge the reader to consider modern day sexual relationships and the modern way that society has come to view women as always being The Victim and the man to be the Perpetrator. I hope that the book will emanate the fact that disabled people have feelings as well as the non-disabled and it is something that everyone should be interested in, because more and more of us are going to become disabled, in one way or another, as life expectancy increases.
