The good guy

Beale, Susan2016
Books, Manuscripts
Ted, a car-tyre salesman in 1960s suburban New England, is a dreamer who craves admiration. His wife, Abigail, longs for a life of the mind. Single-girl Penny just wants to be loved. When a chance encounter brings Ted and Penny together, he becomes enamoured and begins inventing a whole new life with her at its centre. But when this fantasy collides with reality, the fallout threatens everything, and everyone, he holds dear. 'The Good Guy' is a deeply compelling debut about love, marriage and what happens when good intentions and self-deception are taken to extremes.
