Deaf Sentence by David Lodge

4.0

Really enjoyed this story about a retired linguistics lecturer who suffers from loss of hearing and who is dealing with an ailing father and stalking research student. Classic Lodge in the way he gets his main characters into amusing compromising positions. It had laugh out loud moments interspersed with some heavy linguistics lingo which I may have skimmed! I was more interested in the side show of how he managed his father who is increasingly unable to look after himself st home and needs to go into a care home (but doesn’t want to). Very touching. More could of been made of the stalker!
