Sobre IBD

After the hippies and before the yuppies, between the advent of the Pill and the onset of AIDS, between the ’summer of love’ and the ’winter of discontent’, the newest game in town was sex.In mid-seventies London a group of friends play a dangerous game of open marriages, secrets and lies. 'It’s only sex, Ann. It won’t hurt us,' claims Lois, beautiful, talented and determined to get whatever or whoever she wants without being held back by her longsuffering husband, Hugh. Wherever they are, sex is there for the taking. But can love be free? Truth Games bares all. It’s fast, funny and sexy, but as the summer heat increases, stakes are raised and consequences have to be faced...What readers say about Truth Games:’It shows the deft touch of a psychologically astute social satirist.’’It leaves you with that taste in the mouth: a blend of loss, innocence and cynicism.’’I read this novel like a hog eats its share of strawberry tart.’Author biographyBobbie has worked as barmaid, mushroom picker, film extra, maths coach, cabinet minister’s private secretary, care assistant and volunteer adult-literacy teacher, as well as in social research and government policy. She hosts a writers’ group and lives in London.Bobbie’s other novels include Oz with Cinnamon Press and two novels with Sandstone Press, Love, Revenge and Buttered Scones, and The Posthumous Adventures of Harry Whittaker.
