Living Dead Lovers
Living Dead Lovers | Jonathan Dunne
17 posts | 7 read | 39 to read
Living Dead Lovers follows the life and times of famed psychic-medium, half-Romani gypsy, Valentina 'Cabbage' Moone, from her mute infancy trawling the roads of Europe to a fiery-tongued, hard-drinking, speed-loving clairvoyant with a complete disregard for human life, including her own of late... Psychic-medium Cabbage brings forth more than she can chew with womanizing dead racing-car driver, Marty 'Magma' Molloy, who doesn't want to give up the chase. A twisted love-affair never meant to be. Necrophilia: that's what the sceptical call it. Romantics call it the yin-yang love between being and human being, light and, oh, so very dark. And her guardian angel Mr. Brick Shithouse makes it even more complicated...

My second trip into the world of Jonathan Dunne, this time with the half-gypsy girl "Cabbage", raised in a caravan and looked after more so by her guardian angel Mr. Brick than her dysfunctional but well-meaning (maybe...?) parents. We meet her at the top of a cliff and learn her entire life story on the way down.
It's all pretty symbolic, Reader. ?
Another Dunne book that reads like a cult classic movie that is sure to grow better with age!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ loved this book. I'm not usually drawn to this type of book and haven't read anything like it in years. Starting off with Valentina 'cabbage' Moone's impending suicide and straight into the autobiography of her unconventional yet hilarious and often sad life. So far the best black comedy I've read! Great characters I will never forget. Looking forward to the rest of J Dunnes novels. ❤️👍🏼📚

JonathanDunne I'm happy you enjoyed Living Dead Lovers. Onwards and upwards. Jon 7y

Meet Valentina 'Cabbage' Moone...and a cast of the quirkiest characters you will ever meet! I literally had to sequester myself while reading because I was laughing out loud. I won't even attempt to clue you in about the plot...just trust that you won't be disappointed! Dunne's writing is over-the-top hilarious😂😂😂!

Suet624 Beautiful photo. 7y
Alfoster @Suet624 Thanks! I'm trying to get more creative than my usual "here's the cover" post. All of you Littens are so clever! 7y
Suet624 @Alfoster, I'll always remember the cabbage photo. 7y

#bookmail these were some of my buys over the weekend, after so many recommendations. Looking forward to the scary stuff in The Troop and some laughs with Living Dead Lovers 📚

Cinfhen Nice additions, a little bit of #BookEnvy 7y
JonathanDunne That book in the bottom left-hand corner looks really interesting. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/19547603-living-dead-lovers 7y
DeborahSmall @Cinfhen the hardback copy of The Three is a lovely book. I've currently no shelf space left so my library is mess. A good book mess that I'm fine with 📚❤️ 7y

DeborahSmall @JonathanDunne I will. Looks great, I'm not fan of Bridget Jones 🙈 7y
JonathanDunne Especially after her plastic surgery😨 7y
DeborahSmall @JonathanDunne don't be silly she just looks different because of her clean living lifestyle... 7y
JonathanDunne @DeborahSmall Drink 5000 gallons of water per day to have that perfect plastic look. 7y
DeborahSmall @JonathanDunne don't forget the herbal tea 7y

"Suddenly, Mr. Brick Shithouse is sitting on our bumper like a demented lesbian mermaid in drag with a 'fro."
I'm only 3o% in but already laughing my ass off! ??? (to understand the pic you gotta read the book--seriously--hilarious)!

Alfoster Oh and thanks to @JonathanDunne for his rec (he's one of us on Litsy)! 7y
DeborahSmall @Alfoster I'll be able to recreate this pic if I buy a cabbage and glue the ornaments head on. Broke last month after 11 years 👍🏼📚 just ordered this book. Need a laugh! 7y
