I've never been involved with a woman before, but Sarah has identified as a lesbian all her life. The word is as common to her as 'widow' is to me.

Lillian's life at 84 is tumultuous. She is moving to Manor House senior housing to be near Sarah, abandoning the demands of her own home, which has been colonized by her children. How will she and Sarah deal with the reactions of relatives, ex's, and neighbors to their romance?

How do two old women negotiate new love? Will slow-dancing and pot brownies help smooth the way?

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT LILLIAN IN LOVE

I started reading Lillian in Love this afternoon. It's now 7:00pm. What a lovely day it has been. I couldn't stop reading except to pee and smoke a joint. At 86, maybe I'll fall in love, like Lillian, just one last time. --Betty Dodson, artist, author, and PhD sexologist

Humor, good sex, enticing characters, familial drama -this 76-year-old reader enjoyed it all. Katz breaks new ground with verve, compassion, and sensuality.--Joan Nestle, archivist, activist, and award-winning author, including A Fragile Union

In this era of insult and repression, we all need a good read with a happy ending. Settle on the sofa and pick up Lillian in Love now. This is less a coming-out story than a letting-go of the obstacles to the full expression of our being.--Verandah Porche, poet and performer, whose books include Sudden Eden, Glancing Off, and The Body's Symmetry

Timely and important, this is a novel not to be missed. A great read.--Elizabeth Woodcraft, author of Beyond the Beehive and A Sense of Occasion

If you worry that sex has an expiration date, you'll be reassured and inspired by Lillian in Love. Katz doesn't sugarcoat the hard realities of the characters' present and past. Fortunately, she also doesn't skip the good parts!--Joan Price, senior sex advocate and author of The Ultimate Guide to Sex After 50: How to Maintain - or Regain! - a Spicy, Satisfying Sex Life

It's a really delightful read, and not just for those of us pushing old age. Sue Katz is a terrific writer and here she's at the top of her game.--Richard Schweid, journalist and author, most recently of Invisible Nation: Homeless Families in America
