Time For a Change by Lynda Page
Alexandra Morton has a reputation round the close-knit Leicester backstreets where she lives for being a bit of a matchmaker, as there's nothing she enjoys more than offering useful advice to courting couples. But when her beloved husband Gil is sacked from work, having been wrongly accused of molesting a female member of staff, her whole world is suddenly turned upside down. For the first time in twenty-five years, Lex needs to get a job in order to make ends meet, so she goes to work in a marriage bureau and puts her skill to good use.

I have read stories of this timeline before but I found this story to be very old fashioned and the people – would they really be like this, maybe they would, I just thought Gil was a little weak, even some of the things Lex said left lots to be desired? It had enough going for it for me to listen to whole tape and it was okay.
It’s the 1960’s and Gil Morton has just been sacked for inappropriately touching a women he worked with – Gil has worked his way up in this company for over 20 years from apprenticeship to works manager – and at the word of a woman who has not worked there very long he was sacked and it affected him so badly that he refused to meet other women so kept himself at home away from the public. This forced his wife Lex out to work, she was lucky to find a job that was right up her alley, in a marriage bureau – she was to be the receptionist but ended up being the matchmaker because that was something she was good at. I was frustrated with her boss when she met her match in Peter, just the way she went about it, but I got over it when she understood that he was for her. Their son’s Martin and Matt, who worked for the same company as their father were persecuted by other workers – I just found them all so narrow minded – so much that they quit their jobs.
