Luckily, Laurie is only in London for the summer. So, why can’t he get Laurie out of his head? He’s everything that Magnus has spent a lifetime avoiding. He’s messy and creative and nosy and mysterious. Laurie Gentry is nearly the same age as Magnus, but that’s where the similarity ends. However, when one of these sunny young men shows an inclination for dramatic scenes, Magnus meets his new neighbour.
Why date someone his own age to discuss back pain, retirement-planning, and corns, when he can date men who don’t care to discuss anything at all? He fills his nights with a parade of handsome young men who want to make him happy. A successful trial lawyer, he spends his days lecturing jurors, exasperating judges, and striding arrogantly around courtrooms. He’s divided his life into happy compartments.
Men, sofas, books-everything gets jettisoned, eventually.
At fifty-two, he doesn’t believe in keeping anything. Magnus Carlsen is determined to grow old disgracefully. Sometimes love comes when you least expect or want it.
