Nephilim

A French novel of the nineteenth century is based on the author's own youthful passion for an older woman and describes the amorous adventures of a young law student whose infatuation with a woman several years older than himself will last a lifetime.

Ulises Blanco, a recently-widowed psychiatrist, experiences an emotional breakdown after receiving strange and disturbing emails from an unknown sender, and as he tries to determine who is causing his distress, his world is thrown into chaos.

At the center of this novel are two women—worlds apart, yet neighbors—who come together by chance in a neighborhood pharmacy. Janna, a middle-aged contemporary woman is the editor of a women's magazine. She is good at her work and her life seems to her a success. Then there is Maudie, skinny, rag-and-bone tattered and in her late eighties, she is a bundle of ferocity who has spent the last years sustaining herself on pride, and expressing that pride as a cat’s hissing anger. This strong and affecting novel traces the friendship of these wildly disparate women.
