At least if you can believe the news in one (can't remember which) of the 2 big London tabloids of the 1970s -- I think they were the Sun & the Telegraph. Young man & older woman met at a party, felt drawn to each other, hooked up, started seeing each other regularly. Sharing their life-stories, she learned that he was adopted as a baby. He learned that she had a baby son at age 15 & gave him up.<br />Further investigation revealed the reason they felt they had so much in common! (Something like this actually happens in novel Moll Flanders, when Moll unwittingly marries her brother.)<br />I changed some of this - will need to work out more details if I expand the story. But essentially, this was presented as a real-life version of Oedipus & Jocasta.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-73827605871185200892012-05-17T11:00:24.368-04:002012-05-17T11:00:24.368-04:00Based on a real story?
