Mr. Loverman by Bernardine Evaristo

marypboa's review

4.0

Barrington Walker is a superbly drawn unforgettable character - sometimes you love him, sometimes he drives you mad! This novel is full of humour, written in superb upbeat prose and touches on many themes including love, prejudice and aging.
