“Families are Wolitzer’s turf, and she’s an observant and often humorous chronicler of domesticity and the stuff that comes with it: illness, loss, boredom, crankiness, and, on good days, love.”—Publishers Weekly

AN AVAILABLE MAN by Hilma Wolitzer

When Edward Schuyler, a 62-year-old science teacher loses his beloved wife, Bee, he finds himself popular with local widows and divorcees, even though he's quite content to be on his own and work through the grieving process of losing his partner. But soon his neighbors and family are also on the hunt for a new woman for Edward, and reluctantly he begins dating--and as we follow him on this path toward a new life, we wish we had Edward for a friend or neighbor. This is a wonderfully tender book, full of heart, and hope for love, after love.
