Stories We Could Tell

Des voisins ordinaires

" Tout père est un héros pour son fils. Du moins tant qu'il est trop petit pour devenir critique. Pat me croit capable de tout [...] comme Indiana Jones. Je sais pourtant que, un jour, Pat s'apercevra qu'il y a quelques différences entre son vieux père et Harrison Ford. " Passer une nuit avec une collègue, être abandonné par sa femme, perdre son travail, et, du jour au lendemain, se retrouver en tête à tête avec un bout de chou de quatre ans qu'il faut rassurer sur le départ précipité de sa maman... Au tournant de la trentaine, Harry, producteur de télé à qui tout souriait, bataille pourtant dur pour avancer. En affrontant épreuves et défis, il va découvrir que le bonheur ne se niche pas exactement où l'on était sûr de le trouver... Un roman vivant, drôle, émouvant, sur les rites, pas toujours joyeux, du passage à l'âge adulte et sur le merveilleux apprentissage de la paternité.

My Favourite Wife

The final episode in the trilogy that began with the million-copy bestseller MAN AND BOY

 Ten years on from MAN AND BOY, it is crunch time for Harry.

 Life is good for Harry Silver. He has a beautiful wife, three wonderful children and a great job as producer of the cult radio show, A Clip Round the Ear. But Harry is about to turn forty and his ex-wife is back in town. Soon it could be time to kiss the good life goodbye.

 When Harry's fifteen-year-old son Pat moves out to live with his mother, the hard times have only just begun. With his son gone, his job at risk and his wife unsettled by the reappearance of her own ex, their dream seems to be falling apart.

 Into the chaos of Harry Silver's life stroll two old soldiers who fought alongside Harry's late father in The Battle of Monte Cassino in the spring of 1944. Will these two grumpy old men help Harry reclaim his son, his family and his life? And can they show Harry Silver what it really means to be a man?

 Funny, moving and unforgettable, MEN FROM THE BOYS is a story of how we live now.

Men from the Boys

Man and Wife

This is the story of how we grow old - how we give up the dreams of youth for something better - and how many chances we have to get it right.

 George Bailey has been given the gift we all dream of - the chance to live his life again. After suffering a heart attack at the age of 42, George is given the heart of a 19-year-old - and suddenly everything changes.

 He is a friend to his teenage son and daughter - and not a stern Home Secretary, monitoring their every move.

 He makes love to his wife all night long - instead of from midnight until about five past. And suddenly he wants to change the world, just as soon as he shakes off his hangover.

 But George Bailey discovers that being young again is not all it is cracked up to be - and what he actually wants more than anything in the universe is to have his old life back.
