"What is obsession? What is desire? What is pure lust? And what, what does love have to do with it? In prose as succulent as olives, Martha Tod Dudman attacks this eternal snarl, and the result is a hilarious, charming novel especially for women past forty who still insist on outrageous underwear, great sex, and new territory when it comes to living days of power and nights with men." - Honor Moore, author of Red Shoes, "What is obsession? What is desire? What is pure lust? And what, what! does love have to do with it? In prose as succulent as olives, Martha Dudman attacks this eternal snarl, and the result is a hilarious, charming novel especially for women past forty who still insist on outrageous underwear, great sex, and new territory when it comes to living days of power and nights with men." --Honor Moore, author ofRed Shoes, "Black Oliveswill turn your heart inside out with its story of lost love, aging romance, and sweet and sour sex. You'll gobble it in one great big gulp and then be furious at Martha Tod Dudman until she writes another book." -- Kitty Kelley, author ofThe Family: The Real Story of the Bush Dynasty, "Smart, sad, and funny, this compulsively readable novel examines later loves and its discontents, demonstrating with wit and rue that breaking up is hard to do at any age." -- Judith Viorst, author ofI'm Too Young to Be Seventy: And Other Delusionsand co-author ofAlexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, "The physical landscape ofBlack Olivesis a small town in Downeast Maine, but the emotional landscape is that of the human heart. In particular, it is the female heart that Martha Tod Dudman so skillfully mines. If an author requires a literary vehicle to convey his or her story, then Dudman's literary vehicle is actually a Jeep Cherokee. I have always resisted the term 'page-turner' because of the hype that seems to lie behind the phrase. But this book, Dear Reader, is a page-turner, right up to its lyrical and surprising end." - Cathie Pelletier, author ofThe Funeral MakersandRunning the Bulls, "The treachery of a trusted partner brings about the sudden disintegration of the victim's inner world, shattering those basic assumptions that have served to make life feel livable and safe. InBlack Olives,Martha Tod Dudman tells the story of a woman who has come face-to-face with a highly dangerous, unstable universe -- and she tells it in breathtaking prose. I recommend this smart, suspenseful novel; it is a real page-turner!" -- Maggie Scarf, author ofSecrets, Lies, Betrayalsand the bestsellingIntimate Partners: Patterns in Love and Marriage, "The treachery of a trusted partner brings about the sudden disintegration of the victim's inner world, shattering those basic assumptions that have served to make life feel livable and safe.
