How do two old women negotiate new love? Will slow-dancing and vibrators help smooth the way?

Lillian's life at 84 is tumultuous. She is moving to Manor House to be near Sarah, abandoning the demands of her own home, which has been colonized by her children. How will she and Sarah deal with the reactions of relatives, ex's, and neighbors to their romance?

"I've never been involved with a woman before, but Sarah has identified as a lesbian all her life. The word is as common to her as 'widow' is to me."

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT LILLIAN IN LOVE

I started reading Lillian in Love this afternoon. It's now 700pm. What a lovely day it has been. I couldn't stop reading except to pee and smoke a joint. At 86, maybe I'll fall in love, like Lillian, just one last time.--Betty Dodson, artist, author, and PhD sexologist

Humor, good sex, enticing characters, familial drama -this 76-year-old reader enjoyed it all. Katz breaks new ground with verve, compassion, and sensuality.--Joan Nestle, archivist, activist, and award-winning author, including A Fragile Union

In this era of insult and repression, we all need a good read with a happy ending. Settle on the sofa and pick up Lillian in Love now. This is less a coming-out story than a letting-go of the obstacles to the full expression of our being.--Verandah Porche, poet and performer, whose books include Sudden Eden, Glancing Off, and The Body's Symmetry

Timely and important, this is a novel not to be missed. A great read.--Elizabeth Woodcraft, author of Beyond the Beehive and A Sense of Occasion

If you worry that sex has an expiration date, you'll be reassured and inspired by Lillian in Love. Katz doesn't sugarcoat the hard realities of the characters' present and past. Fortunately, she also doesn't skip the good parts!--Joan Price, senior sex advocate and author of The Ultimate Guide to Sex After 50 How to Maintain - or Regain! - a Spicy, Satisfying Sex Life

It's a really delightful read, and not just for those of us pushing old age. Sue Katz is a terrific writer and here she's at the top of her game.--Richard Schweid, journalist and author, most recently of Invisible Nation Homeless Families in America

Lillian in Love Sue Katz Books

Lillian in Love both tickled and taught me. Sue Katz’s novel is about a life-long lesbian and a heterosexual widow becoming intimate and struggling through mutual skepticism and age-related interruptions to their first attempts at romance at an independent senior living home. I learned things I didn’t know: that someone who’s butch and looking to find a femme might find herself attracted, despite that wish, to another butch, and that blood pressure pills can give you dry mouth and constant urination. I laughed at Lillian’s politically incorrect irritation at a runny-nosed grandchild that she’s expected to adore, and at Lillian and her late husband discovering in the 1970s, thanks to the women’s movement, the erogenous zones that neither had known about before. I appreciated the author’s perspective on pre-Stonewall closeted queer life, about racism (the Black staffer feels a need “to keep his mouth in a smile”) and classism (Lillian disrupts the staffers’ dinner, then realizes she’s “crossed boundaries” like “one of those privileged liberals who lacks social radar.”). Most of all, I appreciate Lillian’s frank descriptions of her aging body, but also how “at 84, I’m learning to adore my own physical being.” I was surprised by the complicating shift in the plot, mid-story. A delightful read: ribald/rueful, real.

Lillian in Love Sue Katz Books Reviews

sweet story, very believable and entertaining.
It was good and funny light reading
Always be open to love. What could be more hopeful than that as we all age? Written with brave intimacy, humor and loving, direct characters, reading Lillian in Love will leave a smile in your heart.
This was a sweet story and very heart warming. It made me think of the movie 'Cloud Burst'. It gives one hope that life doesn't end in our golden years as long as we keep an open mind and an open heart.

Thank you! What a wonderfully written novel.
If you’ve ever wondered what do old people really think about aging, offspring and sexuality, this is the book for you. Katz does a wonderful job of describing the complexity of new beginnings, old relationships and life’s roller coaster ride of ups and downs. Lillian is an authentic voice that feels like someone you could ask anything of and she’d tell you the truth. You will love “Lillian in Love”.
Lillian in Love is a delicious read. I consider myself an amateur anthropologist, and Katz's charming, engaging story broadened my knowledge of several groups. I learned a lot about Lesbian culture. The culture of the Senior Living facility was intriguing. Why is it that women seem to revert to those junior-high school behaviors when in doubt? Lillian is a lovely, fun, attractive character, but not without her quirks and insecurities. The sex scenes are steamy and fun. Lilian in Love is a love story with all of my favorite elements. I hope to read more of Katz's work soon.
Lillian in Love is a great book. Well-written - that great writing like you are talking to a friend. The characters are well drawn and engaging. The story is realistic and really fun. I bought this book after reading the author's book of short stories (also excellent) Lillian's Last Affair. I loved the title story, and this book continues it. (Although this also stands alone. But go ahead, read them both!) Highly recommended.
