5.0 out of 5 stars True Romance at its Best! Inspiring and Delightful!, March 17, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Ballad of Gussie & Clyde (Hardcover)
5 stars aren't enough for the romance of a lifetime! This had to be one of the most romantic tales I ever read and the best thing about it is - IT'S ALL TRUE!

This is the story of Clyde Latham (the author's father), an octogenarian who falls in love with Gussie Lancaster, a childhood acquaintance who he loved "since he was 3 years old". The couple behave like love-struck teenagers and live "happily-ever-after"!

This tale was simple and sweet and I can't sum it up any better then Aaron Latham did in his toast to Gussie and Clyde at their wedding reception:

"We are happy to be here today" - my heart was thumping irregularly or so it seemed - "because Clyde and Gussie give us all hope. These newlyweds are going ahead of us, holding up romantic torches, to light our way to love, to being in love at any age. They're from pioneer stock and they're still pioneers marking the trail."(p.116)

I definitely recommend this book to anyone who ... well, anyone who wants to believe in the power of love and be totally uplifted emotionally!
