Gabriel Jacoby can't get to sleep. In fact, he can't get anywhere at all, either in his Triumph Dolomite or his life. Everything around him, from his large collection of coffee-machines to his balding Bradford-born flatmate, is breaking down. Not that Gabriel is bothered; he's too busy being in love with his intensely happily married brother's wife. Which is why Gabriel chooses to waste all his time - because he knows that whatever else he might achieve, it won't be happiness. There's no way there, when you're in love with your brother's wife.

Very, very funny, but it also manages to stay on the right side of realistic... I thought the book was terrific. Roddy Doyle A sharp, funny and hugely entertaining insight into the male psyche with the most convincing female orgasm since "When Harry Met Sally" Helen Fielding One of the best things I have ever read about the nature of mad, obsessive love... funny, sad and horribly, painfully true. Tony Parsons Inventive and hilarious... a wonderful comedy shadowed and complicated by tenderness. SUNDAY TIMES  Be the first to write a customer review
