The story is told in alternate POVs between Marion and Patrick, spanning from the 1950s to the late 1990s. Marion has always sensed that something is different about Tom, but she never knew quite what. Always stoic, rarely affectionate, but she loves him. When Tom meets Patrick, he’s enthralled by his knowledge of art, drama, and history. When Marion sees them in a quiet moment, she knows their friendship is deeper than she thought.Tom and Patrick share this special bond at a time when homosexuality was illegal, and it’s especially risky for Tom as a policeman. To both men, it’s worth the risk.There’s a lot to unpack in this book; the deception of Marion, the risks to both men just from being in love, the interactions between the three. There’s also the lack of Tom’s perspective, which leads the reader to form his thoughts on their own.This was a really beautiful story and an honest look at how difficult it was to be queer in this era. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Love Story! *by S***F on Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2023* Although I have not currently viewed the film newly made based on this book, this book unfolds like a film, so image-filled, so sensory, so observant. Richly layered, each of the 3 characters, each products of place and time, are threaded into a fabric created by a love that transcends its fear, jealousy, and resentment. Love so full and forgiving, so generous and sacrificing leads to a conclusion that is as gentle and peaceful as the fading light of a summer day. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A Bittersweet Love *by C***P on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2023* This is a desperately sweet yet tragic love story between three people, with multiple twists and turns as their lives intertwine. It gripped my heart as page after page tells the story of their ill fated future. ## Frequently Bought Together - My Policeman: NOW A MAJOR FILM STARRING HARRY STYLES - Red, White & Royal Blue --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/211514743-my-policeman-a-novel](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/211514743-my-policeman-a-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
