Barrington Jedidiah Walker is 74 and leads a double life. Born and bred in Antigua, he's lived in Hackney, London, for years. A flamboyant character with a fondness for William Shakespeare, Barrington is a husband, father, grandfather - and also secretly gay.

His deeply religious and disappointed wife, Carmel, thinks he sleeps with other women. When their marriage goes into meltdown, Barrington wants to divorce Carmel and live with Morris, but after a lifetime of fear and deception, will he manage to break away?

With an abundance of laugh-out-loud humor and wit, Mr. Loverman explodes cultural myths and shows the extent of what can happen when people fear the consequences of being true to themselves.

The story itself was good. There were a few cringy moments, but it was from the perspective of an old man.

The writing itself was incredible. The vocabulary, the different character voices, all of it.

Excellent writing

Best narration of a novel I've heard. The accents are believable with each reader catching the feel of all the characters such that you can feel the interaction of personalities from both viewpoints.

Enthralling fiction that happens to be gay.

Me. Lover man is a light hearted story. The Carribean dialect is fun to listen to.
You are drawn in by by the interesting turn of phrase. No doubt I will enjoy listening to Mr. Lover man again and again.

A lot of fun

I was delighted to find this in the Plus catalogue. I had loved "Girl, Woman, Other, " butmhad never even heard of this author until she shared the Booker Prize with Margaret Atwood. I had just read an article in The Guardian- and learned that Booker Prize winner had been her 9th (?) book! And here was one of the others!

Such a moving story, each character pulling the reader into his/her point of view. Of course, it helps that the main characters are aging, looking back, re-assessing, figuring out what is possible with the time they have left, where parenting fits now that the kids are grown-ups, all those quandaries my age group is facing. Evaristo writes with such affection and compassion towards Barry, and Carmel, and Barry's lover...takes my breath away. She ever so gently shifts from the magnetic and duplicitous Barry to showing, decade by decade, what Carmel has paid for loving him, for thinking he loved her, or that he had loved her.
The narrators are fantastic.
I am recommending this book to everyone I know.

Magical

This book is why I listen to Audible! The narration so much captures the characters and creates a world so vividly that is hard to imagine if only reading the text.
The story itself is good, but the writing is better. What a play of languages, a lovely juxtaposition of high brow and street. It is funny, sad, painful and tender and such a joy to listen to.

Good story, great writing, exceptional narration!

I really enjoyed this unique read, although a few chapters did get a bit tedious — mostly Carmel’s chapters as she comes off rather unlikable, even though you can’t help feeling sorry for the poor woman’s situation.

Barry and Morris are best friends who have spent a lifetime deep in the closet. Barry is now making making feeble attempts to come out after 60 years, desperate to live out his retirement years with his one true love. Barry walks us through lots of introspection, showing us he is truly a crusty old man with a good heart, quick to acknowledge his cowardice in staying married to “wifey” and still refusing to identify as a “homosexual,” instead calling himself a “Barry-sexual.”

Ron Butler is the star narrator, easily bouncing between Barry’s strong Jamaican Patois accent and his offspring’s various Jamaican-influenced Queen’s English and generational slang. Robin Miles did a fine job narrating wifey Carmel’s chapters.

Interesting read, unique storyline.
