Mr Loverman

Barrington Jedidiah Walker. Barry to his friends. Trouble to his wife.

Seventy-four years old, Antiguan born and bred, flamboyant Hackney personality, Barry is known for his dapper taste and fondness for retro suits.

He is a husband, a father, and a grandfather.

And for the past sixty years, he has been in a secret relationship with his childhood friend and soul mate, Morris.

Wife Carmel knows Barry has been cheating on her, but little does she know what is really going on. When their marriage goes into meltdown, Barrington has big choices to make.

Mr Loverman is a ground-breaking exploration of Britain’s older Caribbean community, which explodes cultural myths and fallacies and shows how deep and far-reaching the consequences of prejudice and fear can be. It is also a warm-hearted, funny and life-affirming story about a character as mischievous, cheeky and downright loveable as any you’ll ever meet.
