Zomg, Danielle, you are right! Awesome librarian cross-referencing skills there.
On the other hand, the couple in this book don't start out adulterously, just youthfully, and they don't actually meet every year. The more poignant chapters are the ones where they don't actually cross paths.
A similar device is used in Vessels of the Heart by French author Benoîte Groult, about a cute Parisian intellectual gal and a gruff, horny-handed Breton fisherman hunk. Great book, made into a cheesy film called Salt on our Skin starring Greta Scacchi, former gf of Tim Finn-phew-I-made-a-local-connection. (Feeling bad that there is not a single NZ book on my list).

No worries, recordari... Christmas Book Lust post on the way (ta for the title inspiration!). Just putting in the links etc. Watch this space. Er, that space.

Ta, Craig. I was about to reassure our new friend that the CraigSlap is generally not to be taken personally and is more or less automatic. Oops, I almost typed "auto-erotic" there. A Freudian slap.
recordari, Craig is that wicked character you invite to the dinner party so it doesn't devolve into a tame evening of agreeable nods and murmurs and "oh how interestings." There ought to be a word for it.

I guess it was a sort of hybrid between marriage and uh... not marriage. Also, he loved those other ladies so much he decided to use them himself?

Whoah. That monkey needs a good spanking.
(Just trying to help)

My true feelings for the lead characters would be pushing the audience of Emma's blog to blush, let alone Jolisa's, so I'll restrain myself.
You want to spank them?
Ahem. Only an hour until beer o'clock :)
Lucky you -- I'm all the way to Milo o'clock already -- but it's always rude joke o'clock, never fear.
(It suddenly occurs to me that the title of my other post sounds a bit rude if you say it quickly. "We're lost, dammit!' "Try that way?" "No! We've been down that forking path three times already.")
Ngaire, two hairy orange thumbs up to Unseen Academicals! I can hardly bear the thought that it might be the last, so I am refusing to think that. BTW, has anyone cracked the Iradne Comb-Buttworthy anagram yet?

Exactly. Works equally well as a F-you Q.
