Review
Hill is excellent on the minutiae of broken families...an ultimately moving page-turner for the CSA generation Time Out

A witty and upbeat look at the joys of single fatherhood The Big Issue

Product Description
Joseph Stone loves being a father to his 3 young children but finds he has to radically revise his Perfect Father game plan when his partner leaves him and he is left to bring them up on his own. Surely Single Fatherhood is no more onerous than running the local football team? But instead of 4-4-2, he's dealing with 11 and 3/4s, 8 and 6. And then he meets and falls hopelessly in love with Angela and has another child by her, but when his previous partner returns, wanting more involvement with her children, Joseph's life threatens to turn into a chaos of competing needs and domestic mayhem. What does a real man do in these circumstances to avoid relegation to the lower divisions of the paternal sub-species?

5.0 out of 5 stars Brighten up the day, 1 Sep 2003
Having not been specifically in search of any book, picking one off the shelf based on its cover and synopsis alone can always be a dangerous game.
However, Dave Hill's wonderfully crafted novel, dad's life, proved that instinct can often be a good judge. Lead character Joe Stone is the traditional man being caught up in the world of a modern man. His wife leaves him, his kids are involved in a mummy's home, daddy's home roundabout and chaos ensues as Joe tries to ensure that life goes on.
The plot is basically very simple, but, true to his position as a newspaper columnist, Dave Hill ensures that the quality and depth of the characters see this book through with flying colours.
Dad's Life is the perfect book for everyone. Men will cringe at Joe's life struggles while women will definitely spot parts of their own men in the lead character.
