Can three women of a certain age get the sex they want without blowing up their lives?

The girls’ lunch at Geena’s Café will never be the same.

Lila, a therapist with a long-buried secret, is about to join a sex club with her husband.

Her friend Catherine, a divorced housewife who has never understood the point of sex, is gearing up to date for the first time in decades, never thinking that a girlfriend might be in her future.

And Miriam, a medical actor fed up with her philandering husband, has decided to have an affair with Kevin, their favorite (and much younger) waiter at Geena’s.

The Pleasures of the Other is a funny, soulful depiction of “life after midlife,” a portrait of three women who still hunger for love and sexual satisfaction. Debut novelist Sasha Arden delivers a frank — and frankly explicit — tale of sex, love and friendship among older women that readers will find amusing, arousing and affecting in equal measure.
