From Publishers Weekly
Gay pride meets the graying of America in Salvatore's (Not Telling Mother: Stories from a Life) fresh and funny novel about four gay couples who retire together. Leaving behind demanding careers and Manhattan mayhem for Lakeside Leisure, a Florida retirement community, long-term lovers and longtime friends Chris and Karen, Angie and Ruth, Lara and Helen and Rudy and Rich purchase neighboring houses on Paxton Court and paint them purple. But some of the local residents, led by nosy Bunny Seagirt, are horrified by the proximity of the "Lakeside Lesbos" and "Paxton perverts." Over the course of a few life-altering weeks, the issue grips the community. Some seniors immediately rally to the cause of the gay couples, some are won over, others merely adjust to their presence and some remain openly hostile. Still others reveal secret leanings of their own. As the eight newcomers adapt to retirement, each wrestles with regrets, agings and secret longings, as all affirm their love (erotic or platonic) for one another. Salvatore's lovers may be a bit too adoring of?and indistinct from?one another; but, thankfully, the author doesn't grandstand on gay issues but instead concentrates on the dynamics of senior-citizen love, proving herself wise in the ways of the heart, the mind and the libido.

It has a twist
2001/9/11
形式:ペーパーバック
This is a book about a group of gay and lesbian friends who decide to retire and buy houses near each other in an exclusive Florida community. You get a chance to see how older members of the "family" adjust to living together and to trying to mix in with the rest of the neighborhood. There is a twist ending to one of the relationships that lingers with you. This just isn't what you expected to happen. It's hard to get into the book though because there isn't a lot to relate to in the characters. A longer book might have done the story more justice.

Hope I'm That Young When I'm Old
2005/7/1
形式:ハードカバー
The premise... Four elderly (60-ish) couples decide to build homes at Paxton Court and retire together there. All the homes a painted shades of purple and the neighbors have mixed reactions. I must admit it was a little difficult for me to think about couples in their twilight being sexually active (at least as active as these folks are), but Salvatore does such a nice job keeping things realistic and tasteful this reader forgot how old the characters are.
This is truly a great love story -- not only within each couple, but between the eight friends. As they deal with one especially troublesome neighbor, they make fast friends with several others who know about and overlook their "lifestyle."
This isn't one I'll keep permanently on my bookshelf, but I'm glad I got the chance to read it.

Best Book I've Read This Summer
2003/8/24
形式:ハードカバー
I was a little hesitant to read a work of fiction by a Lesbian writer, but I decided that I would give this author a try- boy am I glad I did! I had feared I would have to read lurid details about the sexual acts between two consenting adult women, and it was there. However, it was done very tastefully and lovingly by the author, and she even details an encounter between two men in a hot Florida nightclub- one man very young and inexperienced, the other definately not young physically but still feeling his youth inside. The "twist" at the end kept me riveted and wanting to keep reading every page so that I could learn what happens next. It was a very good read for the Summer- short, and oh so sweet.
