5.0 out of 5 stars
Beautifully written, poignant, humorous and enthralling,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ex-wives (Paperback)
This is a wonderfully crafted story. Moggach, renowned for her gruesome murder mysteries shows a far lighter side in this delightful story of a girl falling in love with a much older man, and becoming intrigued by and caught up with the characters in his past. Russell Buffery is a well known actor and radio star who has been married not once but several times, and we see him initially on the verge of the end of another marriage. However the emphasis is on the humourous, human, slightly squalid state of his life as he ends his middle years. Chapter by chapter we are shown the lives of his "other women" and children, the reader becoming, as the young woman, acquainted with a series of delightfully funny and poignant families and relationships. I loved this book, and now I don't know what to read next!

1.0 out of 5 stars
Boring and unconvincing,
By
This review is from: The Ex-Wives (Paperback)
I suffered two thirds of this book before giving up after deciding that even if the ending was brilliant the pain of reading the final 1/3 would not be worth it. Neither the older man's attractiveness nor the young girl's love for him were convincing. I found the book boring and unrealistic.
