    About this audiobook

    Belinda wistfully reflects how much better at sex she is now than when she was in her twenties. She's thought about taking a lover, but ultimately could never do that to her husband Tom. So imagine her despair when she discovers he's having an affair...

    Nicholson casts an unflinching eye on men's attitude to sex, women, love and family life. This is our own familiar world rendered pacy, funny, emotionally on the button and hugely entertaining.

      Q I have just downsized from London into a rural area. It’s been a real trauma, giving up so many treasures, memories and possessions. But I’ve done it - and the first thing I did, once I’d got sorted out, was to ask my near neighbour to drinks. He s

      This book was a very welcome return for me to the village in East Sussex, and some of the characters, from The Secret Intensity of Everyday Life. Although not strictly a sequel, it is a loose follow on. The books can be read independently, but I would recommend reading them in order.This book, as with Secret Intensity, looks at the lives of the people who live in the village over just a few days, this time in December 2008. William Nicholson is a master at taking the everyday events in the characters' lives and making them interesting to the reader. I read this book very quickly and found myself reluctant to put it down.I understand he is writing a third book in the series and I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on it.Highly recommended.
