If you want to talk first, Trollope works for me.' - Small ad in the New York Review of BooksJane Juska placed her ad in the New York Times and the response was overwhelming. She took a sabbatical from teaching just to have time to respond and meet some of the men - the result is this engaging, funny and utterly frank account of her exploits.
