About This Book
Book Details
Tracker of lost memories and lost souls, the veteran San Francisco private eye Dan Kasdan manages, along his way from the 1960s to the 1990s, to find Priscilla, the love of his life, only to lose her. Kasdan, urged on by Priscilla, also finds himself entangled with Karim, the sleek pornographer and drug dealer who insists that only Dan is the right person to handle his transfers of cash and drugs.
All three, Kasdan, Priscilla, and Karim, want more than what ordinary life can afford them. Herbert Gold's She Took My Arm As If She Loved Me is the story of the risks of love and age, played out against the turbulence of America's great metropolitan village, where freedom is no more easily come by than anywhere else.

In The News
“The chatty old lion of San Francisco holds forth in splendid form.... This is Gold's Tempest, a go-for-broke autumnal story told with great vigor and featuring, in Priscilla, one of the most vividly passive-aggressive villains ever put to paper.” —Kirkus Reviews
“When Priscilla...hurls precious epithets like 'freedom belongs to not being in love,' we recognize in her our own most true and stupid selves.” —San Francisco Chronicle
