The latest paperback from the author of "The Pools" and "The Good, Plain Cook". It follows a love triangle between a young wife, Marion, her policeman husband Tom, and his friend Patrick. With appeal for fans of Sadie Jones and Maggie O'Farrell, it's inspired by E.M. Forster's relationship with Bob Buckingham, but is set in 1950s Brighton.

Recenzii

"Pitch perfect" Marie Claire "A gripping read" -- Viv Groskop Red "A humane and evocative portrait of a time when lives were destroyed by intolerance" Guardian "The era and the seaside locale are beautifully rendered and observed, not least the social and sexual undercurrents of the time" -- Elizabeth Buchan Sunday Times "Captures the obsessive and destructive madness of sexual jealousy" Psychologies

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

Soon to be a motion picture starring Harry Styles and Emma Corrin, an exquisitely told, tragic tale of thwarted love.

It is in 1950's Brighton that Marion first catches sight of Tom. He teaches her to swim, gently guiding her through the water in the shadow of the city's famous pier and Marion is smitten—determined her love alone will be enough for them both. A few years later near the Brighton Museum, Patrick meets Tom. Patrick is besotted, and opens Tom's eyes to a glamorous, sophisticated new world of art, travel, and beauty. Tom is their policeman, and in this age it is safer for him to marry Marion and meet Patrick in secret. The two lovers must share him, until one of them breaks and three lives are destroyed.
 
In this evocative portrait of midcentury England, Bethan Roberts reimagines the real life relationship the novelist E. M. Forster had with a policeman, Bob Buckingham, and his wife. My Policeman is a deeply heartfelt story of love's passionate endurance, and the devastation wrought by a repressive society.
