The Man In The Needlecord Jacket by Linda MacDonald
Release Date: 28th May 2017
Pages: 255
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.
