The Companion Contract

The Companion Contract Lawyer – Robert Avery, who calculates the hours of his misery in six-minute units, loses his dignity, wife and beloved daughter in the mess of an untidy divorce. Jennifer Lewis, having just survived a disastrous childhood stares out at a dismal future. Chance and an inventive hairdresser bring their fates into collision by means of The Companion Contract. This intelligent debut novel delivers a quirky fast paced story, focused on characters who are never quite at the centre of their own lives. Reviews ‘A rewardingly subverted tragic-comic romance, thankfully not based on two unfeasibly attractive people.’ C. T. Bruce ‘Towards the end I was chewing the pages...’ Kate Headworth ‘I believed in it, the lovers’ blandness sparkled.’ S. Woodhouse ‘This darkly humorous, sexy, offbeat novel is worth the paper it’s written on.’ Jo Butler Amanda describes her novel as a ‘dysfunctional romance’. Enjoy the read.
