Summary

The hilarious and poignant new novel from one of Britain’s most entertaining and provocative writers.

Sam and Lucy seem like the perfect couple. Successful, happy and in love. But life isn’t that simple. Lucy thinks Sam is a sad, cold sensitivity-exclusion zone who would rather read a newspaper than have an emotion. Sam thinks Lucy is blaming him because she can’t walk past Mothercare without getting all teary. The problem is that they might be infertile. And in more ways than one.

Critics Review

Moving and thoroughly entertaining

Moving and thoroughly entertaining * Daily Express *A very funny book about a sensitive subject…Ben Elton the writer might be even funnier than Ben Elton the comic * Daily Mail *A tender, beautifully balanced romantic comedy * Spectator *Extremely funny, clever, well-written, sharp and unexpectedly moving…This brilliant, chaotic satire merits rereading several times – Nicholas Coleridge * Mail on Sunday *This is Elton at his best - mature, humane, and still a laugh a minute. At least * Daily Telegraph *Only Ben Elton could combine uncomfortable questions about gender politics with a gripping, page-turning narrative and jokes that make you laugh out loud * Tony Parsons *A very funny book about a sensitive subject … Ben Elton the writer might even be funniter than Ben Elton the comic * Daily Mail *
