About a Boy by Nick Hornby
Will is thirty-six, comfortable and child-free. And he's discovered a brilliant new way of meeting women - through single-parent groups. Marcus is twelve and a little bitnerdish: he's got the kind of mother who made him listen to Joni Mitchell rather than Nirvana.

It takes a writer with real talent to make this work, and Hornby has it - in buckets * Literary Review *
