Paperback / softback
Description
'Love in Fragments' describes the psycho-sexual journey of Ralph Edwards, a successful barrister who has just applied to become a Queen's Counsel, and is happily married to Virginia, an attractive and popular GP.
When he meets a younger woman, Tina, he is surprised to find himself immediately physically attracted to her and then, to his bewilderment, he falls in love with her.
He decides to leave his wife - who perceives a simple mid-life crisis.
The narrative charts the breakdown of Ralph's marriage, his new relationship with Tina, their respective divorces and the consequences. The story develops in parallel with an account of their formative and later sexual experiences, which suggests that, not only are they not honest with each other, but they have difficulty being honest even with themselves.
The novel explores their respective issues of fidelity, possession, and jealousy. Pat Llewellyn, the creator and producer of 'Two Fat Ladies', 'Hell's Kitchen' etc said she found the novel, 'dark, chilling and occasionally repulsive'. Malcolm McCulloch, Emeritus Professor of Forensic Psychiatry, and expert witness in the Yorkshire Ripper trial, commented, 'below the bodice-ripping surface the reader is treated to a master class of psychological description.
Ralph's journey through life turns into a tragedy which touches all his circle. Those of a sensitive disposition should not reflect too deeply in front of this particular looking-glass'. Sian Reeves, the television actress, said, 'I loved every moment'.
