Review
'Deliciously comic - lightning flashes of wit and scalpel-sharp observation' DAILY MAIL 'With a sharp wit and snappy dialogue Brayfield has produced a very funny, cleverly plotted novel that displays Fay Weldon's understanding of the pleasure to be derived from seeing the bad get their just desserts' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Most authors would give their eye teeth to write this well' THE TIMES 'A faultless tragicomic observation of middle age in Middle England- how I wish I could write this well and how I wish I didn't see myself so clearly in every one of her characters! A must-read for the menopausal!' Nigel Havers 'There are very few writers who understand what goes on in the minds of grown up men and women as well as Celia Brayfield. This new novel, investigating male menopausal misery, cannot fail to be of enormous interest and value to anyone dealing with the human male aged 40 plus!' Clare Rayner 'You can't help but care about the fate of this motley crew and their assorted families, but Brayfield is a merciless and astute observer of middle class mores, and this is far from being the purely light-hearted and cosy read that the cover might suggest.' DAILY MAIL 'Funny, sad and moving.' WOMAN'S OWN 'Celia Brayfield does for middle-aged men what Bridget Jones did for thirtysomething women.' Ron Bracey, Consultant Clinical Psychologist 'A glorious portrait of middle class suburban life of our times and worryingly close to the truth - superb.' Duncan Gould, Consultant, The Wellman Clinic
