A Plan for Women - by Lawrence Naumoff (Paperback)

About the Book

The provocative, controversial and acclaimed novel from Naumoff, who casts an unsparing eye on the nuances of relationships and the failure of the sexual revolution.

Book Synopsis

Good-hearted Walter is convinced that all women, like his mother and sister, sacrifice their hopes and desires for the men in their lives. An aging bachelor, Walter is still looking for that perfectly pure woman whom he can rescue from the inevitable corruption of men. He thinks he's found her. Many years his junior, Louise is sweet, and more important, innocent. All is bliss in their young marriage, as they live equally and happily in their North Carolina farmhouse. But when Louise's past resurfaces in the form of a sleazy, manipulative ex-boyfriend, will Walter's faith in his new wife survive the shock, or will Louise fall victim to the enduring plan for women? Writing about women and men with brutal, unflinching honesty, Lawrence Naumoff strikes a nerve in this tale of illusory love. A novel about the failure of the sexual revolution, A Plan for Women is "a thoughtful story written in a style both crisp and clever." (Kirkus Reviews)
