Servaas has retired from the post office and is now living in a retirement home. At 65 he is still a virgin. When nurse Betty bends over to take his blood pressure and he catches a glimpse of her ripe young breasts, "Richard" stirs to life in his loins, intent on persuading Servaas that it's time to lose "their" virginity. But there's more to Betty than meets the lustful eye. The author takes the reader on a tender journey into the mind of an older man lusting after a younger, troubled woman.
Most people have secrets in their lives which they wouldn't tell a soul. Here, those doors which the characters hide behind are flung wide open. There are one or two parts which some might find slightly shocking, but it depends on ones understanding of the characters. Could I put the book down once I had started reading it? The answer is an emphatic no. I enjoyed how Servaas went about solving the mystery, and I'm hoping there will possibly more mysteries for Servaas to solve in the future.
