A great bit of writing, thoroughly enjoyed. Nobbs created Reginald Perrin and is, in my mind, a comic genius. Here he tackles an odd subject, one where both people in a marriage want a sex change. How they and their teenage children adapt is beautifully handled, both with genuine humour and great sensitivity. A very fine book indeed.
Comparison: Nigel Williams, Stephen Fry.
Similar this month: None, but try John Mortimer for his dry humour or Peter Ackroyd for his fine writing.
