Mr Loverman by Bernardine Evaristo
5.0
Barry and Morris forever! I loved this funny, engaging story from Ms Evaristo who is fast becoming one of my favourite writers.
Mr Loverman follows Barry, a man in the twilight of his life who has finally reached a point where he is ready to leave his wife and be with Morris the man he has loved since childhood. Doing so won't be easy. Barry will have to confront issues he has buried for decades and his wife Carmel must accept that appearances don't matter so much as happiness.
It is a wonderful story, the words almost sing on the page and Evaristo's use of free verse makes the pages fly by. I highly recommended this book to everyone. Love wins, every time.
