Synopsis

Joe's wife Ellen has just announced she's pregnant - which is something of a shock, considering Joel's so anti-parenthood, he always wears two condoms just to be on the safe side.

But he gulps, then prepares to accept the challenges ahead, even if it means selling his precious sax and looking for a steady job to provide for his offspring. But Ellen is nursing a little secret. She lied. And now she is in a race against time to get pregnant and fast, no matter what it takes.

Then when Ellen, Joel, and Joel's womaniser friend Monk start scheming, there can only be one result: total and utter chaos...

About this title

Review:

Joel is a saxophone player who makes very little money, though he believes he's the third-best sax player in Ireland. When his wife Ellen confronts him and tells him she is pregnant, he is highly suspicious because he always takes precautions. When the news has sunk in, he decides he must sell his precious saxophone and buy a cheaper one, putting the difference towards the expenses of having a baby. He leaves Dublin on the ferry and flees to England where he gets a lift from a nun who runs off with his cash and his sax. And he has another problem too - Ellen isn't actually pregnant yet. The author of Feng-Shui Junkie has produced an engaging farce of misunderstandings, betrayal and seduction.

Book Description:

He came. He saw. He ran away . . .
