Summary
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 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... What readers are saying about Dave Hill's ' Enjoyable, witty and well observed ' 'The quality and depth of the characters see this book through with flying colours ' ' Narrative drive, gritty realism and sheer laugh-out-loud wit '
