  "For almost six decades Segal has quietly produced some of the best fiction and essays in American literature . . ." —The New York Times 
   
   
   
  Beloved New Yorker writer Lore Segal, at ninety-five years old, is a national treasure. Working at the height of her powers, in this story collection she turns her gimlet eye and compassionate humor on aging and life in the slow lane. 
   
   
   
  From the master of the short short comes a collection of sixteen new stories featuring old friends who have loved and lunched together for over forty years. These erudite, sharp-minded nonagenarians offer startling insights into friendship, family and aging. 
   
   
   
  Can the group organize a visit to one of their number in her new, and detested, assisted living situation? Is this a fabulous party with old friends, or a funeral reception? And does who was sleeping with whom, way back when, still matter? 
   
   
   
  In story after story, Segal's voice is always hilarious and urbane, heartbreaking and profound, keen and utterly unsentimental, as she tackles aging's affronts.

Lotti's beauty beguiles him, her spirit intrigues him. The longer he's with her, the more mysteries he uncovers. And the more his passion grows.

With their enemies closing in, Alasdair will do anything to protect the woman he's destined to love.

She can't ignore his sexual magnetism or the undeniable desire between them. Their journey unravels everything she knew about herself to reveal a carefully constructed fallacy. Yet, she discovers an inner strength she didn't know she had. But is her yearning for Alasdair worth the risk for them both?

  Thaddeus Esax has a grumpy werewolf problem. For a year, he's been mated to Sandulf Hunter, a ghost werewolf he brought back from the dead without meaning to. It's been great. Thad's been happy, and he believed Sandy was too. But Sandy has been sulking for more than a week, and Thad fears their relationship isn't going as well as he believed.
  The problem with being mated to a ghost is that said ghost never can leave your side, and therefore it's extremely hard to keep secrets. Thaddeus wants to surprise Sandy, to cheer him up, but to do that, he has to trick him into believing they're doing something they're not. 
  Telling Sandy they're having a Halloween party doesn't go over well, but how do you trick a ghost? By making him believe he'll be dressed up as a pirate for an evening, of course.
