William Walker's First Year of Marriage: A Horror Story by Matt Rudd

For anyone who has ever dreamed of finding true love only to discover that happy endings are just the beginning comes this brilliantly comic novel about marriage, ex-girlfriends, `performance anxiety', and what it takes to make happily ever last beyond the honeymoon.

William is a happy man. He has just married Isabel, the girl of his dreams, and is confidently sailing along on a sea of wedded bliss. He's got a hot wife, a snazzy new job and things couldn't be much better. Sure, there are a few bumps in the road, but life on the whole is good.

That is until Isabel's `best friend' Alex starts to intrude on their wedded bliss. And when William's ex-girlfriend Saskia - aka the `Destroyer of Relationships' - appears on the scene, things go from bad to worse. For marriage, William quickly discovers, has its own set of rules. And while falling in love is easy, staying in love can be a whole lot trickier...

Witty, irreverent and laugh-out-loud funny, "William Walker's First Year of Marriage: A Horror Story" is the perfect novel for anyone who has ever wanted to know what the person they're facing at the altar is REALLY thinking - and been rightly afraid to ask.

William Walker's First Year of Marriage Reviews

`As far as honest representations of one's own gender go, there's got to be something fascinating about a book that provides such insightful glimpses into the male psyche...Brilliant characterisation with more than a whiff of authenticity, a fast-paced narrative and hilarious dialogue will keep you engrossed in William's various disasters to the end.' Sara Lawrence, Daily Mail

`Matt Rudd's sparklingly energetic, sometimes laugh-aloud, sometimes touching novel...mixes the accident-prone and amiable prattishness of Lucky Jim and Bridget Jones with a liberal dollop of farce....William turns out to be an innocent searching for the right path....Getting to know him is to enter into the blundering, puzzled hell of the male up against the eternal feminine enigma.' Elizabeth Buchan, Sunday Times

`Hilarious and hugely enjoyable. A frank, funny insight into what men really think about women and marriage.' Tracy Quan, author of Diary of a Jetssetting Call Girl

`Writing genius...the hilarious insights into a man's mind will make you laugh out loud' Cosmo

'Meet the male Bridget Jones. William's just married and has a view on everything from ex-girlfirends and wives to male best friends and work. But his luck takes a hilarious turn for the worse. Be prepared to LOL on the train. 5 stars' Company Magazine

'Matt Rudd's sparklingly energetic, sometimes laugh-aloud, sometimes touching novel gives us a further heads-up: actually, the Beast longs to be tamed.' The Sunday Times
