t's a young world and Senator Robert Chauncy is old and getting older. Soon to be retired, the senator and his young bride are off to Florida for a little honeymoon. But his wife, Sheila, has a wandering eye and Fate has other surprises for them as well. On their way down the eastern seaboard, Sen. Chauncy finds himself trying to rescue a drowning man. The stranger dies, but before passing away, he baffles the senator and the gathered spectators with a mad tale of living forever. At first, his words are taken for those of a man caught in delirium. But it is soon discovered that the seemingly middle-aged dead man was in reality an eccentric and elderly foreign scientist named Titus Olshenski. Sen. Chauncy and the others begin to wonder if Olshenski's dying words carry some hidden meaning. Did Olshenski have the key to the Fountain of Youth? Can the scientist's riddle be unlocked? Can they find the Fountain of Youth? Fate only knows, and before long, the race is on to see who will live forever and who is doomed to die. Join Sen. Chauncy, who longs to be virile enough to satisfy his young wife; an aging hippy named Rocky and his own wife, Laura, with disabling multiple sclerosis; a puzzling and disturbing old man whose motives are unknown; a young lifeguard with the hots for the senator's wife; an old woman and her cat, Lester; a vain former teen idol who craves a return to his glory days and the rest of the zany cast as they race to be the first to the Fountain of Youth.

Gabrielle Zevin, Books, Fiction and Literature, Fiction, Young Jane Young: A Novel, From the bestselling author of the beloved The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry comes another perfect fable for our times--a story about women, choices, and recovering from past mistakes.Young Jane Young's heroine is Aviva Grossman, an ambitious Congressional intern in Florida who makes the life-changing mistake of having an affair with her boss--who is beloved, admired, successful, and very married--and blogging about it. When the affair comes to light, the Congressman doesn’t take the fall, but Aviva does, and her life is over before it hardly begins. She becomes a late-night talk show punchline; she is slut-shamed, labeled as fat and ugly, and considered a blight on politics in general. How does one go on after this? In Aviva’s case, she sees no way out but to change her name and move to a remote town in Maine. She tries to start over as a wedding planner, to be smarter about her life, and to raise her daughter to be strong and confident. But when, at the urging of others, she decides to run for public office herself, that long-ago mistake trails her via the Internet like a scarlet A. For in our age, Google guarantees that the past is never, ever, truly past, that everything you’ve done will live on for everyone to know about for all eternity. And it’s only a matter of time until Aviva/Jane’s daughter, Ruby, finds out who her mother was, and is, and must decide whether she can still respect her. A novel about a world that continues to want to define what women are and what they can, and cannot, do, Young Jane Young follows three generations of women, plus the wife of the Congressman. Told in varying voices through e-mails and even a Choose Your Own Adventure section, it captures not just the mood of this particular, highly charged moment but is an accessible, witty, smart take on the double standards that are alive and well and waiting to trip up ordinary and extraordinary women alike. .
