Description

After the hippies and before the yuppies, between the advent of The Pill and the onset of AIDS, between the 'summer of love' and the 'winter of discontent', the newest game in town was sex. But bed-hopping carries a price. Can love be free? Truth Games bares all. It's fast, funny and sexy, but hold tight - we're heading into white water ...
Reviews
London, 1975 and 1976. When women had careers and the coil and multiple orgasms, and the hip and open-minded were reading John Updike's Couples. The time of crop tops and hipster flares and Biba. When one interpretation of gender equality was that women could screw around, too, but woe betide the woman who reached the grand old age of thirty without being hitched, because she'd missed the boat and was on the shelf. Or lesbian. A time of such confusion and mixed messages that one might almost forgive the reactionary old farts who hankered for the simplicity of traditional role divisions. So. Lois is married to her old ethics tutor Hugh. She's now twenty-eight and he's forty. He's a wonderful man and she loves him very much, but he isn't enough for her. And he, because he loves her very much, too, and doesn't want to be a fuddy-duddy and lose her quite completely, grits his teeth and says it's just fine for her to have lovers. Meanwhile, wide-boy builder Jack is married to prudish, uptight Tessa and currently having an affair with dippy Pamela. Ann, recently jilted by her long-term lover, is rapidly approaching the midnight strike of thirty and desperately looking for a toad who might just turn out to be a prince. Two possibles are Sebastian and Charlie. Or are they gay? Then Tony and Zoe appear on the scene. Another nice man with a wife who wants more. And, not to be forgotten, Mick Galway is happily married, with a couple of kids, but just adores women so much he simply can't resist them. Take the ingredients, mix them all up willy-nilly and surely it has to be a recipe for disaster for everyone concerned? But Tess and Jack are a bit cordon bleu, and Sebastian makes a mean curry. And it all turns out sort of all right in the end . . . -- Suzy Ceulan Hughes @ www.gwales.com

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
