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.

About Matt Rudd
Matt Rudd is a writer and editor on the Sunday Times, where he has worked for seven years. In the name of journalism, he has fought three Mexican wrestlers single-handed, had an affair on 'SecondLife', binge-drunk at Wetherspoons, bruised himself on a Japanese toilet and spied on his wife Harriet using the very latest GPS technology.
