He has faced a long struggle to overcome the obstacles interposed by the gods against his return, while she has worked to hold off her obligation to remarry and provide Ithaca with a new ruler. What did this twenty-year separation mean to this man and this woman who, after having loved each other in the flower of their youth, are now re-encountering one another as strangers marked by the separation itself? That is the portal through which Esther Seligson enters into a confessional world of the senses, of sexual desire, of love and its absence, of loneliness, and of nostalgia for lost time and lost youth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frayed Edge Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48530833047793,"sku":"9781642510331","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781642510331_p0.jpg?v=1786311676","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781642510331","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
