Following on from Williams Walker’s First Year of Marriage this is another richly comic novel following William’s exploits as he manoeuvres himself over life’s hurdles. Very funny and very real!!
A brilliant new comic novel about love, marriage, parenthood and the million tiny little things that conspire to trip you up on the rocky road to all three. William has a twelve-year-old boss bent on his destruction; the interior design duo from hell re-decorating his bathroom; and an angry ginger midget with a mean right hook on his case. Then there's the flood. And the village full of Machiavellian nutters. On the plus side, he has as a gorgeous wife and an adorable new son -- and he loves them both. It's just a shame that parenthood doesn't stop him doing the wrong thing at precisely the wrong time, with catastrophic results for his small -- and increasingly exasperated -- family. It's very nearly too much for one man to handle. Correction. It is ENTIRELY too much for one man to handle. And that man is William Walker.
