Summary:
HAROLD
feels so low, he drives around in a hearse, and stages elaborate suicide attempts to con his socialite mother into caring about him. He's preoccupied with death, and scared of life--until he meets
MAUDE
--who's so high on life that she "borrows" wheels whenever she feels like it. She breaks conventions, speed limits, and hearts--and isn't afraid of anything. And Harold finds her irresistible.
HAROLD AND MAUDE is the unforgettable story of two people who find that age is no barrier to love. For the reader, their tender love affair will bring a fresh understanding of what it is to be joyously, exuberantly alive.
