The Man Who Fell in Love with His Wife by Paul Burke

Mr Dempsey is just married after a surprise romance. Formerly Father Frank, a Roman Catholic Priest, he is now like Superman divested of his powers. Except Frank Dempsey isn't always off duty - when he isn't driving his black cab for the local taxi firm, he is in demand to speak at weddings, christenings and funerals. When he becomes a different sort of Father Frank, he realises it will take a miracle, on the scale of feeding the five thousand with one loaf of bread, to provide for his new family. How on earth is he going to do it? The answer comes from a very surprising source.
'A fast and entertaining read.. It all has a Richard Curtis-esque veneer ... it works because it's real' Sunday Express on The Man Who Fell in Love with His Wife 'Laughs a-plenty as former Father Frank Dempsey copes with being a dad' Daily Mirror on The Man Who Fell in Love with His Wife 'A very skilful practitioner of a genre hitherto dominated by Nick Hornby and Tony Parsons ... this novel should secure his position in that particular literary gang' Time Out on The Man Who Fell in Love with His Wife 'Like a gift from heaven' OK! on The Man Who Fell in Love with His Wife 'A perfect gem of warmth and humour with a charming twist, it is highly addictive and worthy of mass recommendation.'
