The Men and the Girls


The novel was written by Joanna Trollope, a popular writer in England who's books usually cover topics about relationships. In The Men and the Girls, Trollope uncovers the lives of two men in their sixties who are in long term relationships with women half their own age. While one man, Hugh, is dealing with the decline of his career, he is not certain how to deal with the fact that his new younger wife is now becoming the financial supporter of the family. Hugh's best friend James is also having troubles with his younger partner Kate who is becoming restless and ready to end their eight year relationship. Overall the novel is compelling and keeps the reader interested and intrigued through out the story. I recommend this book to anyone interested in stories of love and life.
