Poetic, lyrical and wistful in tone, this book is to be sipped, just like the wine the author uses to
contextualize his ramble.

One can be forgiven for marvelling at a version of love that is clearly an echo from the pre-instagram era, an old school world of gender clarity and honor bound chivalry!

There is wonder, there is a generosity of spirit, and there is a chic, back to basics decency.

Here is a person who has lived the fine life.

Ayn Rand, Roald Dahl, Andy Williams…the clear and present shades of a boomer! There is plenty but it leaves one aching for more.

"This is a self-indulgent paean to love, longing and ultimately life. Through Charisma’s eventual choice
between her two adulators, the author is settling life’s fundamental debate over what constitutes lasting
value.

One could have it all and yet wish to sign off with the flourish of having loved and lost. The book sparkles
with a surfeit of wordy gems, “an artwork indeception”; “a life beyond anecdotes”; “like my
morning boon”; “love begins beyond orgasm” and “life becomes sweet custard”.

The author has clearly been there, done that. A wealth of worldly experience and a keen eye for the
workings of the human heart and mind peeks through the wistful text.
Here is a tale of relationships in the words of a thorough gentleman and a man of letters.
It gives you hope in these tech-driven times when our
young   nd it a struggle to relate with each other."
