Barrington Jedidiah Walker is seventy-four and leads a double life.
Born and bred in Antigua, he's lived in Hackney since the sixties. A
flamboyant, wise-cracking local character with a dapper taste in retro
suits and a fondness for quoting Shakespeare, Barrington is a husband,
father and grandfather - but he is also secretly homosexual, lovers
with his great childhood friend, Morris.
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?
Mr Loverman is a ground-breaking exploration of Britain's older
Caribbean community, which explodes cultural myths and fallacies and
shows the extent of what can happen when people fear the consequences
of being true to themselves.
