An exciting new talent, shortlisted for the 1997 Booker Prize,
hailed as 'a triumph' by The Times, and a poignant observer of
human hearts, foibles and follies. ''There isn't a false note in
the book, nothing but ravishing grace, wit and tender feelings.'
Mail on Sunday Nicola's problems began when she is finally told by
her partner, Jonathan, 'that we should part...'. She nips out to
the off-licence to buy cigarettes and returns to find a stranger in
her living room. The stranger looks like Jonathan, talks like
Jonathan, yet Nicola did not recognise him as the man he was
before. Jonathan had always been predictable, but now Nicola
wondered where was the man she loved? How did he become such a
mystery all of a sudden? Since when did a solicitor have hidden
depths? Friends gather round, always ready to offer encouragement
or insult her ex-husband, yet Nicola must face up to the
adjustments of Life After Jonathan. It is not the experience of
liberation, empowerment and excitement it is meant to be. Madeleine
St John's third novel is haunting and hilarious. St John is at her
bittersweet best writing of the things women will do to hold on to
love and the things men will do to escape it .
