'How do you tell your husband-to-be that you're secretly married… to a woman?

Phil Davies should be happy. He has a flourishing bar in the heart of Soho and in six months he will be marrying Ashley, the man he adores.

True, his best friend has nicknamed Ashley ‘The Incredible Sulk’, but to the outside world Phil is living the modern gay dream.

There’s just one little problem: Phil has been married before, twenty years ago. To a woman. In fact, technically Phil and Hazel are still married. And what Phil doesn’t know yet is that Hazel has a son - a nineteen-year-old son. But that’s all about to change…

Brilliantly funny and brimming with bittersweet observations on life, 'The Gay Divorcee' is a hugely entertaining tale of love, marriage and the lies that happen in between'.
