It was her first, his seventh. She was 32, he was 363: the good old April/September number. They honeymooned in Venice, Nairobi, the Malaysia Pleasure Dome, and one of the posh L-5 resorts, a shimmering glassy sphere with round-the-clock sunlight and waterfalls that tumbled like cascades of diamonds, and then they came home to his lovely sky-house suspended on tremulous guy-wires a thousand meters above the Pacific to begin the everyday part of their life together.

Her friends couldn’t get over it. “He’s ten times your age!” they would exclaim. “How could you possibly want anybody that old?”

Reviews for Death Do Us Part

[Fabio Arber · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I like everything about this short, except for the ending. At points it seems that it was the beginning of a long form novel that he stopped writing..The story has elements of Silverberg’s amazing novella, Road To Byzantium. Though, Till Death Do Us Part was published in 1996, it reminds me of his work from his first peak and productive period from the mid-60’s to mid-70’s. If you are an RS fan, I would recommend. If it’s your first reading of this prolific writer, the best is yet to come!
