Can a life and relationships change completely between April and July? They can, as Pouline Middleton demonstrates in a new romance novel that outlines the evolution of a relationship between one woman and several men. The story is based on Middleton’s premise that a modern woman actually needs not one man, but three: one for sex, one for intellectual stimulation, and one to help around the house.
This open marriage exploration takes the form of a diary by a “…nice, well-behaved Danish girl ” who believes “…that my good behavior would create peace in ‘Palesrael,’ equal wages for men and women and reduced poverty in Africa, while I waltzed into the Copenhagen sunset with my prince, till death do us part.”
What’s wrong with this picture? Everything, as a failed marriage, single parenthood, and a lack of positive relationships proves to the novel’s narrator. Even her relationship with a millionaire doesn’t pan out – and when the ‘metrosexual’ choice also fails, it’s time for something completely new.
Open relationships and modern love concepts certainly aren’t new ideas, but it’s their enactment which creates new ground and proves the real challenge. Employing humor, angst, intellectual analysis and psychological understanding, One Woman Three Men delves into how alternative romances are forged and how a ‘nice girl’ moves into uncharted romantic territories with no roadmap for success.
