THE EARTH HUSBAND
'How can you say you’re happily married when you’re being two-timed by a ghost?’
It is 1999. Jim shares a happy home atop England’s crumbling white cliffs with spirit medium Ena and her rescue menagerie of terrapins, geese and an eccentric goat.
Jim loves her madly but there’s a snag: Ena’s eternal pledge to her perfect first husband Douglas, made shortly before his tragic early death. It means Jim can only ever be her devoted ‘earth husband’ – even if he’s doubtful about spirits or an afterlife at all.
Jim’s mate Rod doesn’t know why he puts up with this spooky communion with another man. But then Rod is a Y2K conspiracy nut who’s out to kickstart the apocalypse.
As the millennium looms and his marital worries mount, Jim’s fragile acceptance of this otherworldly love triangle comes under pressure, and jealousy starts to get the better of him…
Poignant, funny and profound, The Earth Husband asks tenderly impossible questions about what happens to love at the end of time.
