Suite for a Borrowed Lady
No Customer Reviews
As it is with the Holy Grail, so is it with love. Whatever we make of love, that is what leads us on. At least it is what leads on Sammy Hecht, the protagonist of the novel. In the beginning, we see Sammy walking bare-chested into the moon-streaked waters of Brighton Beach with a Navajo necklace in his clenched fist. The necklace was to be a votive offering to the wondrous Daisy, the love of his high school and college years. Of a sudden she has become engaged to marry someone else. He destroys the necklace. This action sets in motion his wandering, journeying, adventuring governed by and under the muse of "a borrowed lady," a quest that takes him across the American continent and beyond. As he matures, the nature of love and loving takes on a variety of forms. In particular, there are several women, each of whom in her own way, provides a richness of meaning for Sammy as he undergoes in time an education into the nature of love and loving, of the imaginative ideal and the play of the real. In the final chapter, That Magical Navajo Necklace, Sammy attempts to rekindle and reunite his relationship with Daisy as if the past can be redeemd if not repeated and so it is that in a way we come full circle to the beginning.
