The Widow's Guide to Sex and Dating is Carole
Radziwill's deliciously smart comedy about a famously widowed young New Yorker
hell-bent on recapturing a kind of passionate love she never really had Claire
Byrne is a quirky and glamorous 34-year-old Manhattanite and the wife of a
famous, slightly older man. Her husband, Charlie, is a renowned sexologist and
writer. Equal parts Alfred Kinsey and Warren Beatty, Charlie is pompous yet
charming, supportive yet unfaithful; he’s a firm believer that sex and love
can’t coexist for long, and he does little to hide his affairs. Claire’s life
with Charlie is an always interesting if not deeply devoted one, until Charlie
is struck dead one day on the sidewalk by a falling sculpture ... a Giacometti,
no less!
Once a promising young writer, Claire had buried her
ambitions to make room for Charlie’s. After his death, she must reinvent
herself. Over the course of a year, she sees a shrink (or two), visits an
oracle, hires a "botanomanist," enjoys an erotic interlude (or ten),
eats too little, drinks too much, dates a hockey player, dates a billionaire,
dates an actor (not any actor either, but the handsome movie star every woman
in the world fantasizes about dating). As she grieves for Charlie and searches
for herself, she comes to realize that she has an opportunity to find something
bigger than she had before—maybe even, possibly, love.
