Fiction

Harry Silver is a man coming to terms with life after divorce, and with love in a new relationship. He has to share access to his beloved son Pat with his first wife, Gina, and he has to learn how to be a good parent to Peggy, the daughter of his second wife, Cyd. Cyd is spending so much time on her business that Harry never seems to see her, and Harry himself is working hard to re-establish Eamon Fish, the comedian whose career he is supposed to be managing. Meanwhile his mother, who stood so steadfastly by his father until he died, is not getting any younger or stronger herself. Everything in Harry's life seems complicated. And then he meets a beautiful Japanese photographer, Kazumi, and it gets even more complicated. Man and Wife stands on its own as a wonderful emotional rollercoaster of a novel, and is also sequel to the million-copy bestseller Man and Boy. Harry has left behind the shattered dream of his first marriage, but can he put the pieces together again to make a happy new picture? Tony Parsons writes with humour, suspense and insight into the excitement, pain and rewards of love in his finest novel yet. (Preceeding text courtesy of fireandwater.com)
