Book Description

In the provincial town in New York that houses Fallbrook College, the lives of five people collide in unexpected ways.

New students, professors, and their significant others tumble headfirst into the elations and catastrophes of love in the early 1970s. Rachel is a naïve freshman who comes to study but finds first love and learns some hard lessons not taught in her classes. Deirdre is a housewife in her early thirties. She's bored out of her mind, dissatisfied with her marriage, and wondering if an affair might be just the thing she needs. Ernest is a serious young professor, and a former child prodigy who can barely handle living up to his own standards. Professor Armand is married to Deirdre, yet as he approaches forty, he becomes more and more dissatisfied and disillusioned with his life. And then there's Dave, who wants to date casually and have fun but is already engaged to his hometown girlfriend.

A Quartet of Love is a humorous and satirical take on the pitfalls of romance that will echo with anyone who's ever looked for love in all the wrong places and ended up on an unexpected path.
