Then one of my lovers suggested a threesome - and I broke the golden rule that tested our relationship to breaking point... Molly Roden Winter had been seeing her lover Karl for several weeks when one night, he made a proposal.
Sensing that she’d need someone to talk to afterwards, she had already arranged to meet up with her best friend – the one person who would understand, and the person to whom she could confide all the unease and dissatisfaction of the preceding hours: her husband, Stewart.
Though uncomfortable with the request, Molly – a school teacher, mother of two and the least likely person, it would seem, to indulge in unusual sexual practices – had already fallen in love with him and reluctantly agreed.
Just released in paperback, it caused a sensation when originally published last year, attracting equal parts praise and opprobrium for the candour with which Molly describes her entry into polyamory.
Certainly, it’s not for the faint-hearted as Molly recounts many of the indignities she is made to feel when she and Stewart decide to openly have sexual relationships with other people.
