Poignant and funny... Deborah Moggach is brilliant at capturing just the right voice for her characters

Cosmopolitan

Disturbing and witty...a deftly-described odyssey that places the battle of the sexes in a new arena

Sunday Times

Moggach, for the purposes of this book, has turned herself into a bloke. His monologue throughout strikes me as totally authentic, but not only does Moggach get his lingo right, she thinks through his head, dramatizing his confusion, decency, wit, pain and determination. This is not just ventriloquism, but empathy so complete as to be phenomenal
