Book Description
If women are so much trouble, Ray, why do you always want more than one?
Parallel narratives of a schoolboy's developing first love affair and his career and marriage unravelling 25 years later eventually converge at a school reunion.
Ray Roden is a Fenland schoolboy in trouble with teachers and friends as well as women after his boys' grammar merges with the girls' high. He has already met Tina: that girl would give me some of the best moments of my life. And the worst.
Ray Roden is an insurance executive travelling the Caribbean in trouble with his job, his wife (one of them Roper girls), his children - and still women: this last ten days I've been kicked out of their beds by my wife, my girlfriend and a ... another one. And then there is Hurricane Martin, 'storm of the century', heading straight for his home in Puerto Rico.
Alongside humorous scenes in Ray's unenlightened development from schoolboy clumsiness to mid-life crisis mismanagement are grimmer adult ones including adultery, alcohol abuse, physical and sexual assault. Will he emerge from his school reunion with more than one, one, 'the one' or no woman at all?
Author Bio
David was born in Lincolnshire and mainly schooled in the Isle of Ely, also studying in the Fens and the Black Forest. He has lived in the USA, Caribbean and South America as well as the UK. Currently based in the Midlands, he travels to write reports on insurance markets around the world.
Researching and producing for publication reports the length of novels may have instilled more discipline in David’s creative writing. In 2021 his first novel Seventeen came out, an adventure fantasy story aimed at and beyond young adults.
From Seventeen’s mainly masculine world of Pirates, Knights, Army and Westerners, Them Roper Girls returned in 2022 to our own. With humour and compassion, it traces in their own voices the lives of four sisters over more than sixty years from their 1950s childhood, as each tries to make her own way in the world against many challenges – as often from within the family as outside it!
A husband of one of the Roper sisters takes centre stage in David’s 2023 novel, Them Feltwell Boys. With the same gritty realism and sometimes dark humour found in the earlier novel, Ray Roden’s crude attempts at teenage love are seen in counterpoint to his cynical womanising as an adult. Even if he is prepared to change, will it be in time to save his marriage and career?
