Description
Bernardine Evaristo's Mr Loverman is a joyful and big-hearted read about a man living a double life. Born and bred in Antigua, Barrington has lived in Hackney since the sixties, leading a flamboyant and wise-cracking life with a dapper taste in retro suits and a fondness for quoting Shakespeare.
When his marriage goes into meltdown, Barrington wants to divorce his wife and live with his great childhood friend, Morris. But after a lifetime of fear and deception, will he manage to break away? This ground-breaking novel explores Britain's older Caribbean community, exploding cultural myths and fallacies and showing the extent of what can happen when people fear the consequences of being true to themselves.
With its sublime and rip-roaring portrayal of modern Britain, Mr Loverman is a brilliant exploration of identity, community and the human spirit.
