Jay loves Lucy

by Fiona Cooper

In the emotional No-Go zone of unrequited love, Cupid and Psyche are battling it out. Jay, mid-thirties and comfortable with the single life, finds her world turned gloriously upside down when she falls in love. But Lucy, the beloved, is mid-forties, divorced, devoted to her only son and has never even kissed a woman before. Jay is the woman who won't take no for an answer; Lucy, mistress of the endless maybe. The corks of the pink champagne bottles pop aplenty as the wooing gets ever keener. Sly and funny by turn, Jay Loves Lucy describes a rite of passion, from love's first flutter to its fall and in so doing paints a painful portrayal of opposing sensibilities.
