The Gay Divorcee

Paul Burston

4 Reviews

Rated 0

Fiction, Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

How do you tell your husband-to-be that you re secretly married . . . to a woman?

Phil Davies should be happy. He has a flourishing bar in the heart of Soho and in six months he will be marrying Ashley, the man he adores (even if his nickname is The Incredible Sulk ). In short - he s living every gay man s dream. There s just one problem: Phil has been married before, seventeen years ago. To a woman. In fact, technically Phil and Hazel are still married. And what Phil doesn t know yet is that Hazel has a seventeen-year-old son. But that s all about to change...

Brilliantly funny, heart-warming and filled with bittersweet observations, The Gay Divorcee is a hugely entertaining tale of love, marriage and the lies that happen in between.
