Synopsis from Amazon:-
'New novel about men, love and relationships by the author of the Book of the Year, Man and Boy. Alfie Budd found the perfect woman with whom to spend the rest of his life, and then lost her. He doesn't believe you get a second chance at love. Returning to the England he left behind during the brief, idyllic time of his marriage, Alfie finds the rest of his world collapsing around him. He takes comfort in a string of pointless, transient affairs with his students at Churchill's Language School, and he tries to learn Tai Chi from an old Chinese man, George Chang. Will Alfie ever find a family life as strong as the Changs'? Can he give up meaningless sex for a meaningful relationship? And how do you play it when the woman you like has a difficult child who is infatuated with a TV wrestler known as The Slab? Like his runaway bestseller, Man and Boy, Tony Parsons's new novel is full of laughter and tears, biting social comment and overwhelming emotion.'

This is a 'feel-good' read and I enjoyed it very much indeed. The film of it would have Hugh Grant in it for sure! I laughed out loud once or twice and I did feel rather touched by the ending. I liked the writing style and I felt that Parsons maintained the narrative push right to the end. It's a bit of a wrm fuzzy book and I think it would make a great holiday read, although there are some interesting insights into modern relationships and family life.

To be released at the Meet.

Picked this book up in a little pub in England, just out of town in the country. Haven't had the chance to read it yet, But it has now traveled back to Australia with me to be read by myself and my siblings! :)
