About this listen

Meet Buffy. With three ex-wives, a failing career and only his dog George for company, Buffy's bachelorhood is looking worryingly confirmed.

Until he meets Celeste.

Dazzled by love, Buffy has no idea that Celeste is systematically researching his ex-wives, children and stepchildren, and unearthing secrets that will change all their lives …

Critic reviews

'Wonderfully funny.' (Daily Mail)
'The Ex-Wives marries comedy and canniness into a novel that’s warm, tolerant, shrewd and exuberant.' (Sunday Times)
'Deborah Moggach is brilliant at capturing just the right voice for her characters.' (Cosmopolitan)
'Cracking good dialogue, excellent jokes and laser-sharp aperçus. It is meant as a compliment when I say that she is like a female Kingsley Amis.' (The Daily Telegraph)

Great fun, with some heartfelt moments in the mix. A wonderful cast of characters. Excellent narration. Highly recommended. Please also make audiobook versions of Stolen and Porky, my favourite books by Deborah Moggach.

So enjoyable
