LINDA MACDONALD
Genre:
Adult contemporary fiction; Domestic Noir
Release
Date: 28th
May 2017
Publisher:
Matador
– An imprint of Troubador Publishing
The
Man in the Needlecord Jacket follows
the story of two women who are each struggling to let go of a
long-term destructive partnership. Felicity is reluctant to detach
from her estranged archaeologist husband and, after being banished
from the family home, she sets out to test the stability of his
relationship with his new love, Marianne.
When Felicity meets Coll, a charismatic artist, she has high hopes of being distracted from her failed marriage. What she doesn’t know is that he has a partner, Sarah, with whom he has planned a future. Sarah is deeply in love with Coll, but his controlling behaviour and associations with other women have always made her life difficult. When he becomes obsessed with Felicity, Sarah’s world collapses and a series of events is set in motion that will challenge the integrity of all the characters involved.
The
Man in the Needlecord Jacket is
a thought-provoking book, written from the perspectives of Sarah and
Felicity. The reader is in the privileged position of knowing what’s
going on for both of the women, while each of them is being kept in
the dark about a very important issue.
Inspired
by the work of Margaret Atwood and Fay Weldon, Linda explores the
issue of mental abuse in partnerships and the grey area of an
infidelity that is emotional, not physical. The book will appeal to
readers interested in the psychology of relationships, as well as
fans of Linda’s ‘Lydia’ series.
