“Not a bad effort from this actor. I listened to it on audio and he narrated it himself.
If I was a 10 year old boy would I enjoy this?

The story of Barrington, a seventy-four-year-old Caribbean man who moved to Hackney in the fifties, is preparing to come out of the closet to his wife and adult children.

“When our protagonist’s husband takes a break from their marriage for a younger and prettier woman it sends her into a mental breakdown.
The story bounces around and becomes both interesting and absorbing.
So why only 5/10? I guess it should be higher, perhaps 6.5/10 OK I’ve changed my mind and given it a 6.5!
Score 6.5/10
