Mr Loverman is the seventh novel written by British-Nigerian author Bernardine Evaristo.

Published by Penguin Books, UK, in 2013[1] and Akashic Books, US, in 2014,[2][3] Mr Loverman explores the life of Britain's older Caribbean community, through the perspective of a 74-year-old Antiguan-Londoner and closet homosexual, and his wife Carmel whose voice we hear in alternate chapters.

[8] In 2024 Bernadine Evaristo wrote in The Guardian about how she created Barrington's Caribbean voice and that Carmel's chapters were added to the novel at a late stage after feedback from the publisher.

[9] In June 2023, the BBC and Fable Pictures announced an adaptation of the novel into an eight-part television series.

[10] The series began broadcasting on 14 October 2024, and starred Lennie James, Ariyon Bakare and Sharon D.
