About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

A breath-taking, original and compelling novel based on the private life of JFK, from the BAFTA award-winning creator of Bodyguard and Line of Duty.

John Fitzgerald Kennedy is the 35th president of the United States and a serial womaniser. An American man for the modern age: Kennedy is handsome, charming, a beaming paragon of worldly virtue. But beneath the slick veneer of a confident statesman, he harbours a vice that will threaten his family, his fortune and even his country.

Empathetic, darkly witty and deft, Jed Mercurio's American Adulterer shines a novelist's spotlight on the world's most powerful and corrupting institution: the American presidency.

Critic reviews

"A novel of our times: shameless and prurient, detached and salacious." (Observer)

Style over substance

A strange book. I’m not entirely sure what the author was aiming for. It was so mannered that it was impossible to feel anything about any of the individuals involved. Whilst I now know more about JFK’s bowel movements than ever before, that’s about all.
