Items related to Caroline's Bikini
Caroline's Bikini is the tale of a classic love affair; a swirling cocktail of obsession and imagination.
The moment that Evan Gordonstone - a successful middle-aged financier - meets Caroline Beresford - a glamorous housewife, hostess and landlady - he falls into unrequited love, a story as old as Western literature itself. Evan recounts the tale of his infatuation to his friend Emily, and thus begins a hypnotic series of conversations set against the backdrop of West London bars, fuelled in intensity by endless G&Ts. From the depths of midwinter to July's hot swelter, Evan's retelling of his passion for Caroline will take him to the brink of his own destruction.

Review:
A really superb, very readable novel. I suppose I am, you know, hopelessly in love with it. (Toby Litt Guardian)
A clever and unusual take on the classic unrequited love story. (i newspaper)
As much about the age-old conundrum of unrequited love as it is the mystery of writing, this hypnotic book is unlike anything else out there. (Grazia)
Gunn has written a blissfully anarchic and - indeed - inspiring novel about the futility of writing: a delightful paradox in itself. (Joanna Kavenna Literary Review)
Gunn's serious playfulness will make you think again about every convention of fiction we lazily take for granted . . . And no other novel has ever tapped so many jokes from the artisan gin craze, symbol of brash new London . . . Nothing much may happen. But the feelings - and the writing - overflows. (Financial Times)
Gunn's playful and endearing voice makes it a joy to read. Who knew postmodernism could be this fun? (Tatler)
