All the Hopeful Lovers Paperback – 15 October 2011
by William Nicholson
Belinda wistfully reflects how much better at sex she is now than when she was in her twenties. She’s thought about taking a lover, but ultimately could never do that to her husband Tom. So imagine her despair when she discovers he’s having an affair…
And what about Tom, and his lover Meg? It’s not easy for them either. Alongside this knot of middle-aged lovers is a tangle of younger ones, as Belinda’s flirty daughter Chloe tries to set up Jack with shy Alice, without realizing that Jack actually has a crush on her.
Nicholson casts an unflinching eye on men’s attitude to sex, on women, love and family life. This is our own familiar world rendered pacy, funny, emotionally on the button and hugely entertaining.
Reviews
William Nicholson writes so well about love … It’s a comfortable scenario, yet heaving with emotion and yearning … as we all do ― Daily Express
You’ll love it … so intimate, so socially spot on. Nicholson writes beautifully about love, tear-jerkingly well about parents and children ― Daily Mail
It’s the simply truthfulness of his portrayal of men and women’s emotional and sexual lives that will surely earn Nicholson another batch of happy readers ― Daily Telegraph
