Description

The boy Winger's got trouble. Trouble with money, mask theft, zabaglione, curtains, and the cat. Not to mention the existential problem of his trousers. Until, that is, he meets Natalie, who shows him that love, like legwear, can come in many shapes and sizes; and that sometimes you have to risk everything if you want to find the perfect fit. In his first novel, the prize-listed author Stephen Foster has written a beautifully crafted, breathtakingly sweet and entirely un-cynical contemporary love story.

Reviews

'An engaging and breathlessly vital modern love story.' Brian Martin, Financial Times 'Stephen Foster's writing is truthful, perceptive and, in places, very funny. His protagonist's stream of consciousness exposes the hang-ups, disillusionment and fragility so common in the contemporary male.' Owen Parker, Time Out
