We all expect to live longer than ever before. But what awaits us in the land-beyond-fifty? Will passion and lust simply disappear in those "sunset years"? Will the joy of sex, one of the driving forces of our younger days, be diluted into what is euphemistically called "the comfort of companionship"? In this narrative, richly punctuated with examples from literature and biography, Eileen Simpson takes a realistic look at love and marriage in later life.

They reveal how they met, how they expressed their love and sexual feelings, how they set up their households, the reactions of their grown children to the new spouses, and difficulties the partners faced in their new life.
