I read it when I was around 18 yrs old, Now I am nearly 60.It has stayed in my memory as a narrative I could relate to even though I am from absolutely the opposite part of the world.
I am sure that those young men who stumble upon it will not put it down once they start reading it.Not a book that a father will give his son to read but one he will not admonish him for reading should he find out about it. 

Review: In Praise of Older Women

Review: In Praise of Older Women: The Amorous Recollections of András Vajda

Beautifully written and poignant book about a young man's journey as he discovers women. Fascinating for women to read as the author describes what attracts him to women - older women in particular. Sensitive and sometimes sad - but a great celebration of women too. Read full review

Review: In Praise of Older Women: The Amorous Recollections of András Vajda

Unexpectedly, this was not purely about sex. Instead, it was more about the relations between the opposite sexes and how mind-bogglingly unpredictable such relations happen to be. It spoke alot to me about my own experiences. Very good read. Read full review

Hilarious, funny, well written, witty, light: it is not the best ever written book, but it is beyond doubt a good summer read for relaxing moments. It has been said it is high literature - I don't think so, nevertheless I'd keep it at home, if only it wasn't stolen from my shelf.. Read full review
