So the timing seems perfect for Roxie and Fred, Richard Alther's novel of sex and friendship between an 88-year-old woman (in excellent shape!) and a 40-years-her-junior man (who requires a diet and some exercise to keep up). Readers will enjoy the warm-hearted celebration of this zesty old woman savoring the hell out of her final years."<br /> - Judith Viorst, American writer, journalist, and bestselling author of <em>I'm Too Young To Be Seventy</em>.</p><br>
