Bobs and Ba live in happy prosperity. They began with nothing, but now they have a successful chain of car repair yards. Bobs has even bought a racehorse! But on a Caribbean holiday to celebrate Bobs' fiftieth birthday, it becomes clear he is a man with things on his mind. Has he found a younger woman? The receipt in his pocket from Sasha Lingerie is pretty damning. And what's the terrible secret in the cupboard behind his pool table? As the gossip starts at the golf club and the kids stop calling, Ba's life is turned upside down. What's more, her daughter Melody is getting married and everyone's nerves are in shreds. It takes events beyond their control to show Bobs and Ba just what their marriage is made of.

... if you're a fan of Alan Bennett, Mike Leigh or Victoria Wood you're in for a treat. Quirky English humour and tolerance at its best.

I had to stop myself from laughing on the tube while reading it.

This book is unputdownable. When will it be a film? The characters are so real you can feel them, and Laurie Graham's style is unique. Truly one of the best reads in a long time. I never wanted it to end.

One of the funniest books I've read in years. A real, laugh-out-loud delight. Laurie Graham is a rarity in being a very clever, funny author.

Enjoyable. quick read.
Read this in one sitting. Warm characters that I cared about and funny as well. Could imagine it as a film or play staring Alison Steadman.

What a fantastic book
I first read this book a few years ago; it is very rare that I will read a book twice, but I just had to reread this when I saw it on the book shelf the other day. Read more

A bit of light relief
This is a charming, witty book but i beg to differ with those reviewers who claim it is as good as Victoria Wood or Alan Bennett. Read more
