After David

By Catherine Texier

Book Overview

For fans of Colette, Mary Gaitskill, and Normal People - a fearlessly erotic literary novel about desire, aging, and starting over.

Eve is in her early sixties, divorced, and done apologizing for wanting more.

A writer and mother of two grown daughters, Eve has turned to online dating - not for love, but for the younger men who remind her she's still alive. She knows it's reckless. She does it anyway.

Then she meets Jonah - a thirty-something jazz guitarist who becomes more than a distraction. What begins as passion becomes something harder to walk away from, forcing Eve to confront the ghost of her marriage, her Catholic guilt, and what it really means to live without restraint. Sensuous, poignant, and unapologetic, After David is a portrait of a woman who refuses to disappear.

"A fascinating and sexy heroine sets this romance novel with a difference alight." - Kirkus Reviews

"Texier thoughtfully, tenderly and with unrestrained eroticism, captures the complexity of modern love and loss." - Elizabeth Crane, author of This Story Will Change
