About this product

Product Information

"Round-heeled" is an old-fashioned label for a woman who is promiscuous-someone who nowadays might be called "easy." It's a surprising way for a cultured English teacher with a passion for the novels of Anthony Trollope to describe herself, but then that's just the first of many surprises to be found in this poignant, funny, utterly unique memoir. Jane Juska is a smart, energetic divorcée who decided she'd been celibate too long, and placed the following personal ad in her favorite newspaper, The New York Review of Books: Before I turn 67-next March-I would like to have a lot of sex with a man I like. If you want to talk first, Trollope works for me. This closing reference was a nod to her favorite author, of course. The response was overwhelming, and Juska took a sabbatical from teaching to meet some of the men who had replied. And since her ad made it clear that she wasn't expecting just hand-holding, her dates zipped from first base to home plate in record time. Juska is a totally engaging, perceptive writer, funny and frank about her exploits. It's high time someone revealed the fact that older single people are as eager for sex and intimacy as their younger counterparts. Jane Juska's brave, honest memoir will probably raise eyebrows and blood pressure, but it will undoubtedly appeal to the very large audience of grown-up readers who will be fascinated and inspired by her daring adventure.

Reviews
Advance praise for A Round-Heeled Woman "Feisty, charming, moving and wise, this page-turner of a memoir proves that life for a woman-sexual and otherwise-hardly stops at thirty-nine . . . forty-nine or fifty-nine." -Cathi Hanauer, editor of The Bitch in the House and author of My Sister's Bones "Juska has a good sense of humor, and of course, her favorite writer is Anthony Trollope. She likes the way he treats women in his novels. Let's wish her a happy birthday and buy her book. I really liked it." -Liz Smith, "Page Six," New York Post "Juska writes well about the sex . . . but even better about the seductions, which take on the luster of years served. Expressive and touching: readers will be rooting for Juska to get all that she wants." -Kirkus Reviews "There's something universal in [Juska's] love affair with the written word." -Publishers Weekly, Advance praise forA Round-Heeled Woman "Feisty, charming, moving and wise, this page-turner of a memoir proves that life for a woman-sexual and otherwise-hardly stops at thirty-nine . . . forty-nine or fifty-nine." -CathiHanauer, editor ofThe Bitch in the Houseand author ofMy Sister's Bones "Juska has a good sense of humor, and of course, her favorite writer is Anthony Trollope.

The joys of being an older woman!
This delightful book absorbed me. I couldn't put it down. The modern world has much to say about young people and their experiences with sex. It has little to say about us "older women" (you understand ONLY in age!)who find great joy and satisfaction in the wonderful, tactile, robust experience of sex. I deeply admire Jane Juska who had, and probably still has, an adventuresome spirit. She shared her experiences, both good and not so good, with the rest of us who are far from dead to the world of sex. My hat is off to Jane and all older women who believe in living life to the fullest in all ways. I only wish there was some way I could convey to her how much this book meant to me.
