Description

Seven kinds of love...sexual passion, love of parents, love of children, love of siblings, love of friends, love of country, love of wisdom...Peggy Avakian's older brother discovered the Classical Greek, SEVEN KINDS OF LOVE, in a book from a library on Long Island when he was fifteen. He told her they were the facts of life and Peggy worried they were all out of her reach.As the story begins, Peggy has left her childhood, "lower-middle-class ghetto called home", and wandered away to Boston; but San Francisco, Brooklyn, Oxford and Dublin beckon.The last family connection Peggy has is a rare old Italian drawing her long lost brother found years before. She wants to find out who drew the Old Master drawing and what it's worth. Unfortunately, that seems to mean stalking Eric Matheson, a curator at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. He seems to have all seven kinds of love.Eric resents any involvement with Peggy or her drawing. More and more, it's an involvement that breaks his hold on life as her crazy stalking involves his family. Peggy tells her side of the story first and then Eric tells his side.
