The Brewer's Wife

Stella Ward was a tomboy and a fiery gang leader during her childhood on the Northumbrian coast as WWII came to an end. She was adored by young Dale Ingram and her departure down south at the age of fourteen broke his heart. Thirty years later the two meet quite by chance. Stella is married to Richard who is chairman of a small family brewery company. She is a JP, Chairman of School Governors, a tireless worker on many worthy charitable causes and a pillar of respectability in local Society, whilst Dale is single and a partner in a very old-fashioned firm of licensed property brokers in Canterbury. Their childhood love and memories of 'tying-up' games sees the pair embark on a wild, passionate and very kinky affair which is, at times, perilous, humiliating and very funny. The lovely lady Vet Amanda, the crazy sexual therapist Maeve, and publican's wife Annie all play their parts in Dale's life as he tries to cope with the antics of his 'dinosaur' of a Senior Partner as well as tending to the needs of brewery companies and their tenants. Why does Stella have to dress up as a 'schoolgirl' once a month? Who kidnaps her? Bathing caps in the bedroom? Why is Dale so often a "gukking gahcod"? This is a lusty romp of a love story, genuinely hilarious and a great first novel.
