Working in gerontology I fully expected to love this book but unfortunately that wasn't the case. I made it about 15% of the way through before I put it back down. The story starts by covering two main characters, a gerontologist looking for a new project and a psychiatrist that had a breakdown. The gerontologist joins the psychiatrist to cover the topic of sex after 60 and they intend to do so by reviewing case notes of the patients they have worked with. The first case is a veteran who develops prostrate problems.
I can't offer any more information on the plot than that because I put the book down. While I did enjoy the fact that the author was willing to write about sex after 60 which is not something that is ever done respectfully in media in any form, I felt that it was disjointed. I didn't find myself connecting with the characters or wanting to read more about them. Sergeant Jones was an okay character, but I guess I was expecting something different when it came to the author presenting a case study than what was actually offered.
