Description
The book is a reissue of a Harry Silver novel. Harry Silver has it all: a beautiful wife, a wonderful son, a great job in the media, but in one night he throws it all away. He must start to learn what life is really all about. The book is funny and emotional, hitting the funny bone and the emotional jugular at the same time. Irish Times and Glasgow Herald both say the book is excellent, and the Independent calls it superb.
Harry Silver has it all: a beautiful wife, a wonderful son, a great job in the media – but in one night he throws it all away. Then Harry must start to learn what life is really all about.A finely constructed novel that says more about human relationships than a library of psychology manuals, hitting the funny bone and the emotional jugular at one and the same time.
IRISH TIMESOne of the finest books published this year… Hilarious and tear-jerking in turns.
EXPRESSA grown-up novel that is simultaneously a heart-rending gripping read and suffused with an irresistible reality. GLASGOW HERALDParsons has written a sharp, witty and wise book straight from his heart. His characters are all nitty-gritty, bounce-off-the-page, real people; his dialogue is brilliant. DAILY MAILA touching novel … full of quiet tenderness, and written from the heart. INDEPENDENTSuperb. 'Man and Boy' is as witty and sharp as you would expect from Parsons but it is not all bitter – rather profoundly moving. It will strike chords with many readers.
