Adventures In Modern Marriage
William Nicholson Quercus €27.99
The latest in a series of loosely linked novels set in Sussex in the south east of England, Adventures In Modern Marriage explores the conundrums facing a group of middle-class characters at the time of the 2015 British general election. Cameron, Miliband or Clegg? Or none of the above? And, politics aside, is a little light adultery admissible in 21st-Century Britain? Suppose, deep down, women are as sexually voracious and promiscuous as men… Nicholson knows this territory like the back of his hand, and as his comically oversexed characters navigate their various midlife crises, a fine, tenderly written tale takes shape.
