Book Description

This is a humorous tale about romance and nostalgia. Joe is seventy years old tomorrow, and he doesn't know, or even care. His wife, Stacey, the love of his life, walked out on Joe six years ago because of his unreasonable behaviour, always up in his little attic room, gazing out at the universe through his telescope and charting the stars, whilst getting totally drunk every night. So now all alone, he spends all his nights with just his stars and a bottle for company. That is, until Joe is visited by his old best pal from high school, Chad Dablusie, on the eve of his seventieth birthday and persuaded to try and get back with the love of his life, the one person he still loves and misses, his true love Stacey. A double murder provides the backdrop to this emotional roller coaster of a story, sprinkled with affection between two old buddies, sending out a profound message, the true bond of friendship never dies. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
