'You stay gripped from the opening paragraph ! Waterhouse offers us the unsparing image of Everyman and Everywoman in the humiliating throes of irrational passion. Our Song crackles with insight about the nature of sexual obsession' -- Val Hennessy, Daily Mail 'Waterhouse perfectly captures the excitement and tantrums of an illicit affair' -- Today 'There is no denying the virtuoso skill with which Keith Waterhouse plays out the whole saga ... by turns caustic, cryptic, funny and fatuous. It is a splendid read.' -- William Henry Holmes, Sunday Telegraph 'It says much for the humour and wit of this novel that its author can sustain an epistolary form for over two hundred pages without losing any of his cracking pace.' -- Literary Review 'With ghastly humour throughout a novel wrapped in the brown paper covers of middle-class guilt, Waterhouse provides a painful but complete guide to the illicit affair.' -- Mail on Sunday 'A jumle of contradictory emotions is brilliantly portrayed.' -- The Good Book Guide 20020901
Roger Piper is married, middle-aged and middle-rung; he is a man who has elevated failure to an art form. His wife thinks he is up all night writing a novel. In fact, he's writing a suicide note, a long farewell letter to Angela Caxton, the girl with the marmalade-coloured hair, with whom he has shared a wild but hopeless affair. OUR SONG traces their entanglement from its carefree beginnings to its inevitable yet unexpected tragic end. Pouring out his heart, the former advertising executive - his career, as well as much else, sacrificed to the consuming trauma of his obsessive relationship - looks back upon the astonishing helter-skelter experience of falling unsuitably but violently in love.
