Consent

In Consent, author Jill Ciment reflects on her relationship with her late husband. They got together when she was 17 and he was 47, and stayed together until he passed away in his 90's.

At the core of the book are the questions:

 Can a love that starts with such an asymmetrical balance of power ever right itself?
