LIFE BEFORE MAN, centres around Elizabeth and her husband Nate. Their saga unfolds over a year of their lives as each person struggles to deal with love, relationships, despair and just living. Imprisoned by walls of their own construction, here are three people, each in midlife, in midcrisis, forced to make choices--after the rules have changed. Elizabeth, with her controlled sensuality, her suppressed rage, is married to the wrong man. She has just lost her latest lover to suicide. Nate, her gentle, indecisive husband, is planning to leave her for Lesje, a perennial innocent who prefers dinosaurs to men. Hanging over them all is the ghost of Elizabeth's dead lover...and the dizzying threat of three lives careening inevitably toward the same climax. ISBN: 0770416292 GC&C Stock #641 Show more
