About this listen

Love never dies in this novel by “a writer of addictive emotional thrillers.”—The Independent

Told from three perspectives, A Particular Man is about love, truth and the unpredictable consequences of loss.

When Edgar dies in a Far East prisoner-of-war camp, it breaks the heart of fellow prisoner Starling, the man who loved him. When he visits Edgar’s family after the war, Edgar's mother, Clementine, mistakes him for another man, and he fails to correct the mistake.

Playing the role of someone else and being in Edgar’s home with those who loved him stirs powerful and disorientating emotions in Starling.

Edgar’s loss has driven his sister, Aida, to seek solace in the arms of a series of men–but the meeting with Starling sparks a powerful and complex connection, fueled by their mutual longing for Edgar.

Meanwhile Clementine, also grieving for Edgar, has secrets of her own…

I love the way this story portrays life and the issues of that time through credible characters. The narrators’ voices, spot-on, brought them alive. As usual, the author uses suspense so cleverly to keep the plot fascinating. Thanks again, Lesley, keep them coming!
