Harvard physiologist Robert Merriwether has four whip-smart children, a nice-looking and intelligent better half, and an effective, stimulating job. True, he and Sarah havent slept collectively in years, so when he decides to stay behind in Cambridge for the summertime while the rest of the family getaways in Maine, his newfound freedom is deeply unsettling. But that will not mean that Merriwether wants to improve his life or feels unloved. To a man of science, desire is only a biological response. And Merriwether's personal beliefs is that once you're in your 40s, real love is only lust and nostalgia. Then Cynthia Ryder strolls into his life. Two decades old, she actually is beautiful, sensible, witty, and kind. And, to Merriwether's great wonder, she wants to be with him. First, he evades her developments, sure hers is merely a passing nice. But as he gets to know her better, Merriwether realizes that Cynthia is older than he first suspected and that the delight he feels when they are collectively has been lacking from his life for an extended, very long time. When the summertime ends and their need for each other will not diminish, Merriwether realizes that he is being given a chance at real love. The question is, will he be courageous enough for taking it? Considered by many critics to be Richard Stern's finest book, Other Men's Daughters is a tender, honest, witty, and life-affirming family portrait of a love as transcendent as it is unlikely.
