CRY OF THE SINGLE

Novel coming along reasonably well. On Chapter Six and so far the story is going to plan. It's about a couple who renew a friendship about thirty years after they parted. There are certainly lots of changes from being young with small children to standing on the verge of sixty with obvious signs of ageing and adult children biting at the ankles. This story explores the idea that no matter how willing older people are to go forward, there is always something in the past dragging them backwards. There are conflicts of interest, desires to taste what was once often tasted, and the relinquishing of what has become normal, to consider. The subject should be favourably viewed by anyone over forty who has spent many years alone, and I'm hoping this novel will find readers similar to those who enjoyed A Cross of Crocuses.
