Conversations from a Long Marriage: based on the beloved BBC Radio 4 comedy starring Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam

Autor Jan Etherington
en Limba Engleză Paperback – noi 2023
Joanna and Roger have been married for over forty years. Children of the sixties, they're still free spirits,drawn together by their passion for music - and each other.Conversations from a Long Marriage is exactly that: following conversations that take them from the local café, to their kitchen table, taking in her resentment of new glasses - a symbol of ageing - and fury at being lectured by the dental hygienist. He has a dodgy knee and is on statins, and when they discuss the marriage break-up of their closest friends, Sally and Peter, there's jealousy and talk of affairs. She suggests there are advantages tosingle beds and separate holidays, and wants to go clubbing in Ibiza for her imminent 'big' birthday.Witty, big-hearted and a whole lot of fun, Conversations from a Long Marriage will resonate with couples of any age - but especially those who are still dancing in the kitchen, singing in the car and trying to keep the passion alive.

Recenzii

Sublimely funny, touching ... Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam have had illustrious acting careers but can they ever have done anything better than Jan Etherington's two hander? This is a work of supreme craftsmanship
Witty and warm
Jan Etherington is a brilliant writer and these books are sheer joy
Conversations is a brilliant vehicle for tackling difficult subjects, like ageing and mortality, with a kind of clever, gentle, sardonic and affectionate humour, laced with human insight that makes you chuckle but can also unexpectedly move you.
Beautifully written
Sitcom is what most marriages are really like - repetitive and ridiculous - and Jan's words are some of the best ever written on the subject
Astute ... They are unlike anyone I actually know but, truly, I like them
This book gives me hope ... that life and marriage might permanently include taking the absolute piss while simultaneously dancing in the kitchen
One of the best writers for radio ... Her dialogue works because it is so true
An endearing portrait of exasperation, laced with hard won tolerance - and something like love
Not just comedy but also a compelling, well-rounded drama. Brilliantly crafted, delightfully funny and perceptive ... they sparkle and spring vividly to life
Exquisitely simple ... it captures the rhymes and language of spousal life [and] in these [Jan Etherington] hands it works perfectly
Comedies about likeable people are not common. Treasure this one
Beautifully captured in Etherington's sparkling dialogue ... the couple whose flirty, combative relationship, ... made famous by Joanna Lumley and Roger Allam ... is now so beloved
This warm, witty portrait of a 40-year marriage is written with a pin-sharp perception. Sublimely funny, touching ... couple Joanna and Roger remain passionate about life, music and each other, as their conversations veer from reading glasses and dodgy knees to clubbing in Ibiza, separate beds and affairs. Lumley and Allam have had illustrious acting careers but can they ever have done anything better than Jan Etherington's two hander? A funny, relatable read ... this is a work of supreme craftsmanship
