'Do you ever really know the man you love? When Rose's eighteen-year relationship ends in the most shocking and unexpected way, she emerges from years of what she thought was a loving relationship and realises the extent to which she was being emotionally manipulated and controlled. While trying to pick up the threads of her shattered life, she meets a charming and elusive new man. He offers hope and possibilities for the future, but as Rose is drawn further into the labyrinth that is Gary's life, she starts to wonder if he is the man she thought he was.

Compelling and darkly humorous, Men of Bad Character is a novel about modern love and dangerous liaisons.' (Publisher's blurb)

1 3 y separately published work icon The Black Butterfly Kathleen Stewart , Crows Nest : Allen and Unwin , 2001 Z915854 2001 single work novel humour A decade ago, Julia Callaghan, now 29-years old, knew what it was like to be a movie star. Plucked from drama school and critically acclaimed in her first film, an incredible acting career seemed a certainty. But somehow it never happened. Her most successful role since has been her almost impervious self-delusion. And then Patrick, athletic, handsome and chronically dishonest, comes into her life. A one-night stand that enthrals Julia unfortunately doesn't have the same effect on him. And Patrick's finding it difficult to cope with the consequences. (Publisher's blurb, back cover).
