Review
'A fast and entertaining read ... It all has a Richard Curtis-esque veneer ... it works because it's real' Sunday Express on The Man Who Fell in Love with His Wife 'Laughs a-plenty as former Father Frank Dempsey copes with being a dad' Daily Mirror on The Man Who Fell in Love with His Wife 'A very skilful practitioner of a genre hitherto dominated by Nick Hornby and Tony Parsons ... this novel should secure his position in that particular literary gang' Time Out on The Man Who Fell in Love with His Wife 'Like a gift from heaven' OK! on The Man Who Fell in Love with His Wife 'A perfect gem of warmth and humour with a charming twist, it is highly addictive and worthy of mass recommendation.' The Bookseller on The Man Who Fell in Love with His Wife
Product Description
Mr Dempsey is just married after a surprise romance. Formerly Father Frank, a Roman Catholic Priest, he is now like Superman divested of his powers. Except Frank Dempsey isn't always off duty - when he isn't driving his black cab for the local taxi firm, he is in demand to speak at weddings, christenings and funerals. When he becomes a different sort of Father Frank, he realises it will take a miracle, on the scale of feeding the five thousand with one loaf of bread, to provide for his new family. How on earth is he going to do it? The answer comes from a very surprising source.

Format:Paperback
This book is a follow on from "Father Frank" and follows Frank settling into marriage and fatherhood. It shows Frank struggling at times with this new chapter in his life but you see how he comes through in way only he can! A wonderful book that you won't want to put down, funny but realistic at the same time.

I got "turned on" to Paul Burke through reading "Father Frank" which is a superb tale. This is the sequel and is even better! It's a story which is written in such a way that you keep thinking "I know someone just like that!" or "Hey! that's exactly how I feel" except that it's also witty, sharp and full of comments which bring out the third thought "Damn, I wish I'd said that!" This is one of the very few books which has had me laughing out loud and also one of the few which has made me take a pause to think without being sugar sweet or romantically sloppy. Having read a lot recently, this book stands out and as such I must avoid going over-the-top in its praise but it really is tempting! I won't divulge any of the storyline, which is marvellous, or give away any of the t'riffic humour, but can really recommend this as a great read.
Format:Paperback
A very nice & entertaining book, with some very funny parts. Not a difficult read, but enjoyable.

Slick, cool and fast-paced - this novel jogs smartly along into the zeitgeist of the 21st century. Frank is a Catholic Priest, until he meets Sarah and falls in love - but that's... Read more
