Review
'Why Mavis Cheek is not as celebrated as Joanna Trollope or Mary Wesley is a mystery. She's got everything they have, in spades. If anything, she's an improvement on them, in that her sense of humour is wicked and her literary allusions wider.' Observer

Product Description
Patricia's marriage of eleven years is over. Despite her doubts about the arrival of Brian, a dog who has become a father-substitute for her ten year old daughter Rachel, Patricia is more than ready for a fulfilled life as a single parent. But then the matchmaking begins. Even her most trusted friends are determined to provide her with potential lovers, all of whom she skilfully manages to avoid - that is until Roland, who is deeply unsuitable, arrives on the scene.

Although this book may not appeal to the ardent dog lover, I suspect it will strike a chord with most of the rest of us.
It's a gem of a book which will make a long journey fly by and I wouldn't be surprised if you laugh out loud once or twice along the way too.

Cheeky, but not enough
3 July 2000
Format:Hardcover
An avid Cheek fan, I found this book thin in plot, and was disappointed the dog did not play a bigger role. On the other hand, it does capture in her inimitably hilarious way the life of a newly single mother with a self-absorbed ex-husband. And the episodes with the neighbor's rabbit were Cheek at her best. Read this, but not as your first exposure to this wonderful British novelist and brilliant comic writer who deserves wider exposure in the United States.
