Single Men. Who needs them?
Dave Hill follows the lives of four vastly different personalities in Single Men, a witty and insightful novel perfect for fans of David Nicholls’ Us or Graeme Simsion’s The Rosie Project.
This is the story of 24 year-old Marie who does domestic chores for three single men: 20-something Marlon, a currency trader, who is finding his love life and work life a strain, and is indulging in potentially self-destructive means to compensate; 30-something Daniel, an antiques and erotic art dealer, between boyfriends at the moment but the father of an 8 year-old daughter who lives with him; and 40-something Guy, a heart surgeon and divorced father of a teenage son, dynamic, charismatic, macho but ultimately juvenile, with a complex private life. The story revolves around the dynamics of Marie’s relationships with these very different men and asks the crucial questions – do men need women? Do women need men? What are the mysterious dynamics that draw and repel the sexes? The answers in Single Men are very surprising and entertaining indeed…
