Toward the Sea [signed] [first edition]

When Henry Shelton, a widowed Latin teacher, receives a letter from the daughter of a woman with whom he had had an affair as a schoolboy, he has to both adjust to it and to his lovers emotional vulnerability. The three of them inhabit a world which is nowhere near as stable as it first seems. This is the moving story of three normal people and how they live, where love, death, sex and friendship are not dramatic but simple truths
