The Time For Lovers

The Time for Lovers is a captivating memoir of self-discovery and transformation. Britt Ahlfert Brown recounts her formative experiences as a teen-age au pair in Paris, and later as a model in Rome’s vibrant Dolce Vita of 1959. Among the extraordinary people and lovers she encounters is Rad. After her marriage and divorce to an American doctor, with whom she has two children, she tries without success to reconnect with Rad.

Years later, Britt revisits Italy with her second husband, John. They met when she was fifty-five, and he was twenty-eight. Their love is now strong in its thirty-second year. John’s interest in meeting the lovers of her youth leads to the rediscovery of Rad. These intertwining past and present love stories show love’s power over age and challenge societal prejudices about age and love.

The Time for Lovers is a testament to the unpredictability of life, encouraging readers to explore the unknown and follow their own path.
