About this listen

Jomier has reached the age of retirement, his children are grown up and his wife, after having an affair, has left him. Embittered and humiliated, he lives alone in London, mourning the disintegration of his marriage as he broods about the past and the present. When he falls for Judith, things begin to improve. Yet he still cannot escape his old habits and it is only when his daughter falls ill that he begins to reassess his feelings toward those he loves and his ability to forgive. Darkly humorous, ruthlessly satirical and surprisingly moving, The Misogynist is a perceptive exploration of the ways in which we can unintentionally let past disappointments affect our present, and how difficult it can be to move forward.

Highly recommended- piers Paul Read

Having read books by piers Paul read before I was curious to see if 20 years later I would enjoy his writing. Happily I can confirm that this is an excellent read and I do wonder why his work is not more widely known. Beautiful writing, pithy yet humane. Thanks.
