A Mother's Guide to Husbands by Barbara Toner
'Shocking and slightly heart-breaking though it is to me, you have all reached marriageable age and it occurs to me that unless I speak up now I should forever hold my peace. I couldn't forgive myself if any of you hitched yourselves to a pig when I could, with a single pertinent observation, have put you off.' Following on from Barbara Toner's successful "A Mother's Guide to Life", this amusing and entertaining guide to husbands includes advice on honeymoons, handymen and marital fatigue, how to argue in public and keep a social life and the true meaning of Christmas. After all, marriage - and all it entails in separating from the family of one's birth to embrace a man whose family's ways may include slurping - is no mean undertaking ...
