Description

Susan wants another husband. Which comes as a shock to the current one.

'But not instead of you, Alan, my sugar - as well as. You see'

Yet once Susan has brazenly commandeered her boss's rich, elderly hand, Alan finds himself curiously cherishing the company - sharing wife, whisky and other, odder peccadilloes. Indeed Susan is forced to root out alternative amusements - and with their teenage daughter copying her disintegrating moral code, the complex machinery of their lives soon begins to break down.

Joseph Connolly plunges the reader into a tumultuous medley of inner monologues with keen, unabashed relish; exposing marital bedroom and male bonding in this biting, excruciatingly funny observation of men, women and adolescent girls

Reviews

He knows exactly what he's doing, in an immensely contrived, sophisticated and satisfying game - Adam Mars-Jones, Observer
