Mr. Loverman

A Novel

De: Bernardine Evaristo

Narrado por: Robin Miles, Ron Butler

Barrington Jedidiah Walker is 74 and leads a double life. Born and bred in Antigua, he's lived in Hackney, London, for years. A flamboyant character with a fondness for William Shakespeare, Barrington is a husband, father, grandfather - and also secretly gay.

His deeply religious and disappointed wife, Carmel, thinks he sleeps with other women. When their marriage goes into meltdown, Barrington wants to divorce Carmel and live with Morris, but after a lifetime of fear and deception, will he manage to break away?

With an abundance of laugh-out-loud humor and wit, Mr. Loverman explodes cultural myths and shows the extent of what can happen when people fear the consequences of being true to themselves.

Enthralling fiction that happens to be gay.

Best narration of a novel I've heard. The accents are believable with each reader catching the feel of all the characters such that you can feel the interaction of personalities from both viewpoints.

A lot of fun

Me. Lover man is a light hearted story. The Carribean dialect is fun to listen to.
You are drawn in by by the interesting turn of phrase. No doubt I will enjoy listening to Mr. Lover man again and again.

Very well written…

Author used all the literary tools! Fantastic authorship…unexpectedly great!! Narration pretty good as well.

I heard a quick review and I became curious

What a well narrated story. Loved the Camel episodes. Loved the Caribbean accents. Beautiful love story.

Don’t miss this one.

Excellent story. I will listen more than once. Married couple living a lie for decades but find happiness in their old age. Very touching and smart and funny.
