A subject that needed addressing...By KaltyI enjoyed this book - wasn't at all shocked - found it amusing, enlightening and thought- provoking. Older woman, much younger man taboo needs to be challenged more often. After reading this book, online dating still does not appeal to me - it's not for everyone.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Internet dating at 60By Mrs. D. I. RichardsAn entertaining well written book recounting Monica's year of internet dating at age 60. She approached the whole scene with sufficient humour and plenty of libido to extract the maximum enjoyment from her encounters however sleezy they became! SHE PUT THE SEX INTO SEXAGENARIAN! Monica Porter, a sixty-year-old grandmother, thinks her sex life is over when she is ditched by her long-term partner. But then she joins a dating website, and finds that her age acts as an aphrodisiac to hordes of highly-sexed young men, who fantasise about ‘hot older women’. Monica throws caution to the wind, as she embarks on one exciting assignation after the other, having the wildest time of her life. Naturally her sons would be horrified at the risks she takes, not to mention mortified by her escapades with men younger than themselves. But it’s not a problem, as she has no intention of telling them. But there is another hazard to consider… not to her physical being, but to her psyche. Gradually her year of dating dangerously affects her entire outlook on relationships with men, and not in a good way. How will it all end? And will it have been worth the price? Witty, funny and full of thoughtful observations about sex and relationships, Monica Porter’s ‘yummy grand-mummy’ memoir is the first of its kind. Some readers may be shocked by Monica’s lifestyle, but most will cheer her gung-ho spirit, and secretly envy her hit rate with London’s cool young dudes! About the AuthorBorn in Budapest and raised in New York, Monica Porter has been a London-based journalist since the Seventies. Her writing has appeared in most of the quality Fleet Street newspapers and countless magazines, and she has a long-standing association with the Daily Mail. Raven: My year of dating dangerously… is her fifth book. s for Monica Porter’s previous books: The Paper Bridge: A Return to Budapest “Charming, unaffected… A sincere, essentially saddening book.” - Sunday Telegraph “Her book was first published 30 years ago. Reissued now in a new edition, it permits another kind of travel – time travel – though its astute observations bear up well to the scrutiny of history.” - Daily Mail “Of all the books timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the revolutions of 1989, The Paper Bridge may have the most charm. It is an elegant account of a visit the author made to Hungary, the land of her birth, a few years before those dramatic months when the Soviet Empire in Eastern Europe fell apart.” - Mail on Sunday Deadly Carousel: A Singer's Story of the Second World War “Immensely readable…with the unerring eye of a journalist Monica Porter traces every event and character.” - Jewish Chronicle “Monica Porter’s book evokes the seesaw world of Forties Budapest – lurching from the Nazis into the arms of the Communists – with skill and sensitivity.” - Daily Telegraph “Gripping memoir, and a salute to the spirit of Hungary.” - The Observer [VK9DL.ebook] Raven By Monica Porter PDF [VK9DL.ebook] Raven By Monica Porter Epub [VK9DL.ebook] Raven By Monica Porter Ebook [VK9DL.ebook] Raven By Monica Porter Rar [VK9DL.ebook] Raven By Monica Porter Zip [VK9DL.ebook] Raven By Monica Porter Read Online.

  • Agatha Hoff. Burning Horses - a Hungarian Life Turned Upside Down
    Blaikie, Evi. “Agatha Hoff. Burning Horses - A Hungarian Life Turned Upside Down. El Paso, Texas: Sweet Earth Flying Press, 2010. 196 pp.” Hungarian Cultural Studies. e-Journal of the American Hungarian Educators Association, Volume 6 (2013): http://ahea.pitt.edu DOI: 10.5195/ahea.2013.124 Agatha Hoff. Burning Horses - A Hungarian Life Turned Upside Down. El Paso, Texas: Sweet Earth Flying Press, 2010. 196 pp. Reviewed by Evi Blaikie, Freelance Writer It is 1944, Budapest is under German occupation. An SS Captain orders a woman to lick the sole of his boot, which is smeared with dog feces; he threatens her that unless she does his bidding, she will not see her children again. He knows that she is carrying funds for her Jewish cousin, who is upstairs in her apartment. She complies. This takes place in front of the Papal legation, where a column of Jews is lined up hoping to be admitted. When the deed is done, the SS officer drives off while the woman, left retching, resents the fact that none of the Jews watching her humiliation helped her. But the money is safe, as is her Jewish cousin and her daughters. This is but one of many possible yet improbable occurrences in Agatha Hoff’s book, Burning Horses, a novelized autobiography of her mother, Eva, written in the first person. Eva was, until her death in 1992, a wonderful raconteur and Hoff acknowledges that though she tried to stay faithful to her mother’s reminiscences and the written stories about the war that she left behind, these may have been selective, so she filled in the gaps about events which her mother chose not to relate.
