Happy New Year, Darling

This is one of my favorite Margaret St George books of all time. The couple meets on New Years Eve- he's her roommate's boyfriend, she's protesting at a rally for free women's toilets...They spend the evening together and have a conversation...and a New Year's kiss...and realize that if they had met each other first, things would have been very different. It starts a tradition that every year they get together for New Years. However, neither of them are single at the same time. He tries to convince her to leave her fiance` while he is single, but she can't do it. The two of them then spend most of the book conversing through letters- 10 years worth. They meet only around New Years...both of them comforting each other through life's ups and downs- deaths, births, marriage, divorce, and cheating spouses. They only prove to one another that you can be near and dear to someone's heart, no matter how physically far. When they are finally single together again, and when they finally make time for one another, they both have choices to make about where they are and what they want.
