Jessica’s Fine Adventure
Meet Jessica Quartermaine – 69 years old, widowed for 19 years, the survivor of a 31 year marriage of — as she puts it — “relentless predictability” and “sensual deprivation”. Feeling more and more that life is passing her by, Jessica comes up with a plan to experience — in her words– “the euphoria of sweet intimacy”. To pursue this quest, she finds the courage to step out into the world by posting a newspaper ad that reads: “Mature, Well-Meaning Woman with Refined Sensibility declares it is her intention to seek Suitors Suitable for Amorous Possibilities. Only applications with a sense of courtesy, graciousness and a secure knowledge of grammar will be accepted. Fine penmanship a plus.”
With laugh out loud scenes and touching moments, Jessica does meet three Suitable Suitors: an experienced, very confident 65 year old Italian fashion model, a completely inexperienced, very insecure 43 year old librarian, and 73 year old Scots who has a very enthusiastic, larger than life personality.
What follows is a heart warming and hilarious journey of self-discovery, as Jessica in her quest for romance, finds unexpected new meaning to her adventure, and learns how to experience the sheer joy of being gloriously alive.
