Opis

"Scotch and Oranges," is a contemporary novel about Ned Humber, a 25-year-old advertising executive who has affairs with seven women, from 19 to 53, including a teenage flirt, Eastern European refugee, African-American writer, actress/stripper, middle-aged burnout, 53-year-old virgin/Irish patriot, and a lesbian.

Telling the heartbreaking story of each woman, "Scotch and Oranges" also chronicles Ned's growth from callow and selfish to caring and sensitive. After seven very different and affecting experiences, Ned not only becomes a kinder, gentler leader, asserting himself for the good of the agency, but also expresses profound regret for the way that he has not sufficiently appreciated all his incredibly diverse women.
