Exactly how steamy is this story?
STEAMINESS RATING: PG
Wilhelm may have had multiple affairs over the course of his marriage, but Seize the Day is pretty restrained when it comes to romance. In fact, the closest the novel ever gets to a love scene is this memory of a morning-after:
When she would get up late on Sunday mornings she would wake him almost in tears at being late for Mass. He would try to help her hitch her garters and smooth out her slip and dress and even put on her hat with shaky hands; then he would rush her to church and drive in second gear in his forgetful way, trying to apologize and to calm her. She got out a block from church to avoid gossip. (6.23)
This ain't exactly Sex and the City!
