Celexa could have helped!

If only Ursula and Justin knew what we know about clinical depression...this is a riveting and true love story with a mysterious, mystical quality to it. A 16-year-old manic English boy falls for a bewitchingly glamorous 26-year-old sophisticate of Eastern European origins ( I longed for some photos -- the best Justin's brother could do was compare her to an Afghan hound...was her long helmet of golden hair like Mary Travers' or Veronica Lake's?) and sweeps her away for 15 years of compulsive traveling and devoted hot sex. And they have enough money for a flat in Rome and a house in Greece accessible only by sea! He grabbed her just in time...she was already thinking of suicide despite her comfortable life married to an antiquities dealer. Justin's energy and ardor keep her afloat indefinitely..until that old death wish sweeps her away at the age of 42...when they were about to build another house in their beloved Sudan...what a little emergency medication could have done!!! An interesting historical story of the late '50s and the '60s...satisfying and devastating for all of us worshiping in the cult of undying all-consuming love.
