Lulu Marketplace

A young artist who has belatedly renewed relations with an old female acquaintance gradually finds himself becoming disillusioned with her and drawn towards one of her friends instead, though not without first having to deal with the mother of his original girlfriend whose amorous advances toward him are in consequence of marital incompatibilities which this novel takes a sympathetic interest in, despite the paradoxical outcome and the unenthusiastic attitude of its principal male protagonist.
