Middle-Age Spread: Three novellas

By Alasdair McPherson

Three middle-aged men soldiering on despite being unhappy about their lives. Three wives who trigger a reaction by having adulterous affairs. Three very different outcomes from a common starting point.
In Washed Up, Bill reviews his conviction that monogamous marriage is the only logical way to raise a family. Studying friends and acquaintances he discovered a large range of alternatives, one of which suits him.
In Coma, Andrew walks away from trouble and then hides his desertion from himself by developing amnesia after a road accident. He builds a new life for seven months before his memory returns leaving him with two unresolved lives that still have to be faced.
In Ma & Me, Tom marries Pat, heiress to Ma the matriarch of a family and business empire. Unknown to Pat, Tom is instrumental in helping the business to grow. When Pat and her lover challenge Ma, Tom is placed in an impossible position.
Is there a happy ending? All three men find satisfactory conclusions but not in the way they anticipated. It needs an old priest to remind Tom that the Lord moves in mysterious ways.
