Review:

'A beautifully observed portrait of a man at odds with the world...It is at once eloquent and entertaining, intelligent and incisive' Tatler 'Beautifully written and intelligent' Scotsman 'A telling portrait of an older man after a miserable divorce ... a well-observed portrait of middle-class London life for the older single man. It's hilariously funny' Saga At once eloquent and entertaining, intelligent and incisive ... Novels don't come more diverting or sublimely satirical than this' Sebastian Shakespeare, Tatler
