Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Felix Quinn's wife is unfaithful, but he maintains that he is happy with the situation and that every husband secretly wants their wife to stray. A novel about desire, loss, impulsive acts and jealousy, this is shocking, funny and unashamedly perverse.

Publisher's description:

Felix Quinn calls himself a happy man. He runs one of the oldest antiquarian bookshops in London and his wife, Marisa, is unfaithful to him. From the moment of his boyhood rejection, surviving the effects of love and jealousy had been the study of his life. But an event occurs while he is honeymooning with Marisa in Florida that changes all that.
