Little Did retired professor John Bayley realize when he lost Iris Murdoch, his beloved wife of forty-four years, that life would never be the same again. First came thousands of sympathy notes from lovers of Murdoch's novels and fans of the best-selling Elegy for Iris. But more alarming were the hundreds of calls from seemingly well-meaning women, many of whom literally rang Bayley's doorbell bearing cakes, casserole dishes, and pep talks designed to cheer up the widower of their dreams. With the reassuring, compassionate voice of Iris still a mournful obbligato in the background, Bayley, feeling that love has lost its purpose, must grapple with his fate as a man in his mid-seventies beginning life anew. Melodic, irrepressible, and comically comforting, Widower's House, with its heartwarming and surprisingly romantic ending, will reveal yet a new side of the man who became England's most unlikely symbol of masculine virility.

Since the death in 1998 of his wife, the novelist and philosopher Iris Murdoch, John Bayley has given much thought to adjusting to his new, single status. As the carer of a victim of Alzheimers, his was in many ways a double-bereavement as Iris, in the sense of the person who John Bayley met and married, very slowly departed this world some years before her physical death. A meditation on bereavement and loss written in John Bayleys inimitably sensitive and amusing style of reminiscence, Widowers House reads like despatches from another, gentler era.; EPUB; Biography > Biography: general > Autobiography: general, HarperCollins Publishers<
