‘Wistful, touching and funny’ Mail on Sunday
‘Hilarious and tear-jerking in turns’ Express
‘Sharp, witty and wise’ Daily Mail
Harry Silver has it all. A successful job in TV, a gorgeous wife, a lovely child. And in one moment of madness, he chucks it all away.
Man and Boy is the story of how he comes to terms with his life and achieves a degree of self-respect, bringing up his son alone and, gradually, learning what words like love and family really mean.
It is very well written, pacy, funny, and heart-breakingly moving.
