Mid-life follies: Humorous romance bursting with home truths

by R J GouldPublish: Jan 15, 2020Contemporary Romance Humor

Book Overview

Why has his wife abandoned him after 23 years of blissful marriage? Is she having a midlife crisis? Should he be having one, too?

Life is absolutely fine for Hugh and Liz Thorpe in Cambridge, England – a comfortable lifestyle, good health, kids to be proud of and a loving relationship. Then Hugh decides to take early ... retirement and it all goes hopelessly wrong.

A succession of twists and turns are preventing a restoration to the normality that the couple increasingly crave as their children, parents and friends find out that immaturity isn’t exclusively the preserve of the young.

A satirical novel about the fragility of even the most robust relationships.
If you like wry British humor, this is for you.

“This tale of self-doubt, adultery and forgiveness is shot through with humour and compassion. A most enjoyable read.” David Lister, The Independent

“Warm, witty, poignant…characters that stay with you.”
June Flath, author of A Secret Affair and Lost and Found

“Modern life is captured in a completely recognizable way, the style is accessible, vivid and entertaining. Best bit of fiction I've read on this theme.”

“Laugh out loud funny and completely moving at the same time.” read more

BIOGRAPHY
I write contemporary fiction about relationships using a mix of wry humour and pathos to describe the tragi-comic life journeys of my characters. I have been published by Headline Accent and Lume Books and I also self-publish. Before becoming a full-time author I worked in the education and charity sectors.
In a... ddition to an addiction to telling stories, I have milder addictions to playing tennis, watching film noir, completing Wordle and eating dried mango slices.
I live in Cambridge, England. read more
