Green Ted Krever

Paul and Emily have been friends for decades. Just friends, as they say. Emily's beautiful, well-off and has always pursued Paul, in her subtle way. He, on the other hand, has never been quite sure why he's not crazy about her. And then, with his career plummeting along with his self-confidence, Emily invites him to visit her in Ireland, where she lives raising and training horses. And Paul thinks, maybe it's time to let her catch me. Be a kept man-would that be so bad?
And then-naturally-he falls for the firebrand Irish barmaid, during a week of international protests against the coming Iraq War and a chance that suddenly arises for Paul to turn his whole life around-if he can summon the will to be bold.
Green is about a small group of people and a week when their lives intertwine. It's about romance in middle age, when the stakes have gone way up. It's also about the difference between love and friendship (they're not as similar as we'd like), sex and passion (they're not as similar as we think), Ireland, horses, the rule of greed in the world, war, sex, horses, baseball, Ireland, horses and sex. Did I mention sex? And Horses? (Well, I capitalized it that time...)
