A Better Man Zusammenfassung

A Better Man Leah McLaren

Maya wants Nick to be less of a workaholic, to come home earlier, to spend some time with his children.

Nick wants a divorce.

With his mind made up, Nick is determined to leave. But it comes as a shock to realize how much it will cost him to walk away. As a stay-at-home mum, Maya is entitled to everything.

Then an unlikely solution presents itself: Nick needs to act like a better man. If he plays the part of a good husband and father, Maya will become happier and more self-sufficient - and Nick's pay-out to her will be far cheaper.

But as Nick pretends to be a better man he becomes one. He remembers why he fell in love with Maya, and what a great couple they can be. Everything seems to be back on track. Until Maya finds out exactly what Nick had been planning...

A Better Man Bewertungen

This brilliantly written read is original, surprising, funny and clever. I raced to the end, totally engrossed by McLaren's forensic examination of the demise of this very modern marriage. Wonderful - I loved it. -- Sara Lawrence * Daily Mail *
A crisply written satire. -- Marian Ryan * Mail on Sunday *
McLaren's deft prose crackles... A Better Man is unexpectedly beautiful * Globe and Mail *
A gripping, intimate book that will thrill with its juicy plot and win you over with its powerful insight into relationships. * Book Page *
Inside every couple's marriage is a secret known only to them. One of the many pleasures of Leah McLaren's novel is the way she opens a window onto that secret, with great heart and wit. Wince in recognition then laugh out loud, just like life. -- Elizabeth Renzetti, author of BASED ON A TRUE STORY
In this engrossing new novel, Leah McLaren deftly balances humour and pathos to weave a touching, entertaining portrait of a marriage in crisis. A great read! -- Terry Fallis, bestselling author of NO RELATION
A brilliant fresh take on the collapse of a modern marriage. Well-observed, beautifully written but mostly screechingly funny. I laughed, I gasped. Give it to all your friends. -- Camilla Long
