In Love, Again, Eve Pell beautifully and thoughtfully concludes that life experience adds dimensions to the art of connection - and that we all stand to learn something from unexpected romance. How do old people meet new loves? Eve Pell was 68 when she convinced a friend to set her up with Sam Hirabayashi. Ten years her senior, Sam, a fellow runner, was handsome and sweet. Soon Eve and Sam were plunged into a giddy romance that began with a movie date. "It was crazy," Pell writes. "It was wonderful."
Pell wrote about their romance in a New York Times Modern Love column and received a wave of responses from people who recognized their own stories in hers. This thing, this late-in-life love: It's growing, it's everywhere, and it's transformative. In staggering numbers, old people are meeting and falling in love - in senior living facilities, in retirement homes, in bars, in grocery stores, on cruise ships, on the Internet - brazenly, quietly, unexpectedly. People once written off as too old for intimacy are having romances, beginning intense affairs once thought to be for the young.
Part memoir, part journey to a new frontier, Love, Again is illuminating and heartwarming. Speaking with poets and artists, a retired nurse and a retired coach, environmentalists, philanthropists, and teachers - couples whose partners' ages range from 61 to 96 - Pell reports on their relationships, from saying hello to knowing they'd found the one, from blending routines and traditions to overcoming judgments and challenges. These widows, widowers, divorcés, and never-marrieds open up about old love versus young, the thrill of sex, and the looming shadow of mortality. At the core of this book is wisdom: what we all can learn from the experience, regardless of age.
- Fall in love with who someone is now - not who they someday might be.
- Always be honest, but don't feel pressure to share everything.
- And most of all: The heart can continue to expand.

By DC Guy Eve Pell is not a stranger to me.I read her "Modern Love" column in the NY Times a few years ago, where she spoke of her meeting a man, so unlike any of the men she had ever experienced in her life, married to or otherwise. And beyond meeting this man, within a year, deciding that this man would change her life more profoundly, than any before him, and so within a short time, she married him.But to many, such events were the plot lines of romance novels for men and women four to five decades younger.Because all of us, thanks to western society's cultural "programming" think of a single woman of 68 and a single man of 78, meeting, falling in love, getting married two years later, then leading enriching active lives, as a low probability and or impossible event.As in "act your age grandma or grandpa," as in act elderly, as in act out the remaining years of your life as a dried up emotionless prune, as many, young and almost old, in our society would opine.Thanks to Eve Pell's personal experience of teaming up with her "Sam," for very deep and fulfilling intimacy with happiness in the autumn of her life, as well as his, we who are past 60, are blessed.After her beloved Sam passed, Eve Pell set off to find out if she had experienced something rare, or something common, and what shape or form creating a shared intimate life together with another person would take when both are post sixty.As a result, she tracked down others, post 60, who had found each other and created intimate, enriching lives together with caring, character and grace for each other and the world around them.Such events, as Eve Pell points out come only with the wisdom that personal experience with the ups and downs of life gives to anyone now post 60.In fact it is with that wisdom, based on experience, that makes for such a rich and shared life, that many younger, may never find.Yes, with the substantial experience of life, for any post 60 year old, if you open up your heart and your mind, you can find that someone special and the special you create together may only be because of your collective experiences in life prior to teaming up.This is a totally inspirational book.Because with Eve Pell's clear and concise writing, woven in sections between the life stories of older couples, who found each other late in life, you can find out what everyone written of in this book, post 60 has come to understand.The "understand" is about life and how to live it with love, care and affection for their partner, to the fullest with the time that is left.And with such understanding, such post 60 couples can look past the reality of no longer being a 20-30 year olds and making it work, perhaps better than it ever did, in prior relationships where with their youth, they squandered many opportunities for living much more deeply intimate, caring , exciting lives with a partner.

By Alice Bingham Gorman Love Again: the Wisdom of Unexpected Romance is a treasure of wonderful older-age love stories: warm, funny, intelligent, sensitive, heart-rending, and up-lifting. Who could imagine at age 18 that at age 68 he or she would fall in love and that his or her heart would beat every bit as wildly! But, as witnessed by all the couples in Eve Pell’s revealing and inspiring book, it happens. In fact, as she discovered in her own story, at an older age the heart is not fettered by the problems of raising kids or struggling to be successful in business or any of the challenges of young marrieds. The heart is free to do nothing but enjoy life with a spouse or partner or lover of choice for as long as possible. This book is the perfect Valentine’s gift for anyone at any age with a heart!

It was such happy surprise when the book arrived in my mailbox. The book arrived at just the right time in my life. I am 42 years old and have been single for over 7 years. I found myself divorced after being married and in a relationship with the same man for nearly 23 years. I had just about giving up hope of ever finding love again when I received this book. It is as if there was a message in there for me. Eve Pell has renewed my hopes and make me believe that love is possible again at any age. This book is a must read for person who finds themselves single whether it is from divorce, death, or from never having found someone to love throughout their lives. There are lessons in there that both men and women can learn from. The stories of every single one of the couples were heartfelt, and I have learned quite a bit from the experiences and advise shared by all of the couples. I love how well written and organized Love, Again was. It is so nice to know that no matter how old we are, the possibility exist that we might find love again, even in our later years, unexpectedly. I really enjoyed reading the book!
