Man & Wife

MAN AND WIFE is a novel about love, marriage and very modern families. It is a book for anyone who ever felt torn between work and home, their parents and their children, their present and their past. Harry Silver is a man learning to juggle his many commitments - to his wife, his ageing mother, his stepdaughter, his ex-wife and his beloved son. Things have never been more complicated - and when the most beautiful girl in the world walks into his life, they do not get any easier. Meanwhile Harry's mother, the woman who has been the calm and supportive centre of his troubled life, and who stood so steadfastly by his father until he died, is not getting any younger or stronger. But there are still valuable lessons that this mother can teach her grown-up son about family, commitment and, above all, the true meaning of love. The much-loved sequel to the runaway bestseller MAN AND BOY, MAN AND WIFE stands on its own as a moving novel about our families in the new century, written with all the humour, emotion and superb story-telling that have made Tony Parsons a favourite author in over forty countries.
