Man and Boy by Tony Parsons
`Wistful, touching and funny’ Mail on Sunday `Hilarious and tear-jerking in turns’ Express `Sharp, witty and wise’ Daily Mail Harry Silver has it all. A successful job in TV, a gorgeous wife, a lovely child. And in one moment of madness, he chucks it all away. Man and Boy is the story of how he comes to terms with his life and achieves a degree of self-respect, bringing up his son alone and, gradually, learning what words like love and family really mean. It is very well written, pacy, funny, and heart-breakingly moving.`Wistful, touching and funny, it looks back at the glory days of the family without losing hope for the futureIn the end, it is a deeply touching book: a love letter to a son from his father, and to a father from his son’
