Harry's Women: A Novel of Love and Sex

By Kathryn M. Burke

Harry Warner, a 57-year-old man in Seattle, wants to go back to college to get his B.A. In doing so, he falls in love with a 20-year-old college student, Emily Waters-and subsequently develops intimate relationships with Emily's mother and grandmother. All this happens by a series of accidents, and Harry is as far from a Casanova figure as can be imagined. In fact, he is keenly aware of the complexities of interpersonal relationships and the emotional difficulties that both men and women face in the #MeToo era. The novel-recounted in the first person by Harry (and, later, by Emily and others)-is by turns funny, erotic, poignant, and shocking. Harry is a well-meaning but at times bumbling narrator-protagonist. But the heart of the book are the three women: Emily, vibrant, dynamic, and sarcastic; her mother, Joyce, melancholy, overwrought, and troubled by the desertion of her husband for a younger woman; and her grandmother, Isabelle, a Frenchwoman whose suave urbanity takes in the events surrounding her family with unflappable calm.
