D.H. Lewis comes of age in the 60’s, embroiled in the civil and social upheaval of the period and entwined in the arms of his best friend’s mother. Thirty years later, tormented by his own recent experience with a young girl, he begins work on a novel to tell his story and challenge the presumption that such liaisons are inevitably manipulative, predatory, and corrupting. But he’s not sure he’s telling the truth.Affairs of Life is a profound and complex critique of inculcated beliefs; personal, social, and political, layered with characters and encounters that inspire passion, consideration, and trepidation, while begging the questions; can there be love without commitment, and righteousness without virtue.A bold, iconoclastic first novel sure to tantalize, disturb, and ultimately reward every reader.
