'This follow-up to Father Frank is as witty as the originalIt's like being handed an ice-cold beer after a long walk in the desert. I read it in a single sitting ... impressive in-depth knowledge on a huge range of subjects which includes a knowledge of records that Nick Hornby would be envious of ... a wonderful mix of colourful characters, spur-of-the-moment jobs and a blossoming love story' Ireland on Sunday on TMWFILWHW 20050123 'A well observed and funny look at modern life ... has been likened to both Nick Hornby and Tony Parsons. I can quite understand why' Nottingham Evening Post 20050122 'Funny and fast-paced stuff following up Burke's best-selling debut Father Frank' Dorset Echo 20050122 A fast and entertaining read ... It all has a Richard Curtis-esque veneer ... it works because its real' -- Sunday Express Laughs a-plenty as former Father Frank Dempsey copes with being a dad -- Daily Mirror '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.' -- The Bookseller
