10. I am reading an old book.

It is a book called, "Tim," by Colleen McCullough.

It is a love story about two people who have been stunted emotionally by their circumstances. Mary is a fortyish spinster who has become financially well-off because of her hard work. Her entire life, she has cut herself off emotionally from everyone. She falls in love with a much younger man. He is as beautiful as Adonis, but mentally retarded. His family loves and protects him.

This book was published in 1974. I had never heard of it before I found it on the library shelves. I don't know what I think, being less than one hundred pages into it. At times, I know I can be a very picky, critical reader. I don't have a verdict yet.

Has anyone else here read it?
