Summary
Soon to be an eight-part television series starring Lennie James

Barrington Jedidiah Walker is seventy-four and leads a double life. Born and bred in Antigua, he has 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.

Y'all.......Bernardine is an artist. They way she wrote the characters and how immersed I felt when I read this book is awesome. This story is filled with so many twists and turns. The author highlights cultural myths, stereotypes, and how living lies affect others just as much as you. Read this book. You won't regret it. Every single character is something else, even down to the grandson. #Book9of2025 #Bookworm #Whatsnext
