October 2009 Good Housekeeping selection.
Liam is 60, recently redundant, twice married, now single, and about to move into a sterile apartment with just his rocking chair and wry world-view. But a bang on the head and memory loss lead him to meet comfy-bosomed Eunice, who is 38, with a penchant for ample-sized harem pants and keeping whopping skeletons in her closet.
