About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Great Switcheroo by Roald Dahl, read by Shane Rimmer.

In The Great Switcheroo, Roald Dahl tells a subversive, saucy story of lust and desire. Here, two husbands secretly agree to a night of passion - with each other's wives . . .

The Great Switcheroo is taken from the short story collection Switch Bitch, which includes three other black comedies which capture the ins and outs, highs and lows of sex.
