Tender Circles Unbroken: Requiem

This is a love story spanning fifty years from the latter part of the 20th century to the first decades of the 21st century. The story of two lovers takes place against a backdrop of changing sexual mores during a period of rapid scientific progress in transplantation and treatment of heart disease. Anthony Di Nardi and Laura O?Grady share lives and influence one another over a two years, part and reunite after 35 years of separation when both are seriously ill. Comfort and support mark their late life interactions in a setting of faith and personal affirmation at the end of their lives. The survivor offers a requiem, as an act of remembrance for continuation of life and love after death.

Angelo Matteo as persona of an expert on sexual function has written fictional accounts concerning physical attraction, desire and love in Tender as Love. He now turns his attention to love, end of life issues, and death, writing as a fictional elder surgeon expert in transplantation and cardiovascular disease. He explores interactions of faith, hope and love at life's end.
