Desperate Husbands

Second-Hand

Excellent condition

The new book from the author of In Bed with Jocasta and the Dag's Dictionary.

Meet Richard, the original desperate husband, and his partner, the fabulous but formidable Jocasta. And say hello to their teenage offspring - the Teutonic Batboy and his irrepressible younger brother.

Desperate Husbands lifts the lid on so-called normal family life, and reveals its soulful, hilarious absurdity. Welcome to a world where household appliances conspire against their owners, fathers practice ballet in the hallway and dead insects spell out an SOS on the kitchen floor.

By turns sweet-natured yet perverse, familiar yet wildly original, Desperate Husbands may be the funniest book you read this year.
