Book excerpt: "He's lucky to be a boy," Henry's mother says of her small, homely son. "Why am I lucky to be a boy?" he asks. "Because girls need to be pretty. With boys, charm is what counts," his mother explains. Henry never really stops being a boy, a romantic, idealistic boy, and a bundle of sensitivities and insensitivities. Starting out as a young Jewish barrister in South Africa, Henry then moves to Israel with his wife Jennie. But he continues to be haunted by Penelope, the free-spirited Catholic beauty who was stolen from him by his best friend Jean. Written with whimsy, sexy, often funny and sometimes brimming with despair, OH, HENRY is a narrative of the seasons of their lives, as Henry, Jennie, Penelope and Jean play out the complicated web of their relationships.
