Rated 5 stars by ForeWord Reviews The story of Soviet native Victoria Lansky, started in After the Happy End by Rita Kinsky, continues in Cycles. Lonely and disillusioned after the collapse of her happy marriage with Alex, Victoria meets Zachary, who brings sunshine back into her bleak existence. Though not ready for a new relationship, she is swept off of her feet when she finds herself unexpectedly admired and wanted - discovering, through the unforeseen romance, that you are never too old to love. But, when fate presents her with the challenge of choosing between a new romance and an old love and responsibilities, Victoria is torn. Can you have feelings for two men? What is love, and are you ever too old for it? Is sex a blessing or a bane? Should responsibilities overrule your right to be happy? Can you love someone's child more than anything? There are no unequivocal answers to those questions in Cycles. But there is the unequivocal promise of a new beginning that follows any misfortune, for life is just that-a series of Cycles.
