About

My Husband and Other Rats Synopsis

'DIZZYINGLY GOOD . . . HILARIOUS AND HEART-WARMING, AS IT VEERS FROM THE MUNDANE TO THE ABSURD' DAILY MAIL

'THE BEST SORT OF BRITISH COMIC WRITING . . . TRUTHFUL, TENDER AND VERY FUNNY' PANDORA SYKES

An irresistible comic novel centred on the various crises of middle-aged Alison, for fans of Nina Stibbe and Marian Keyes

When the full catalogue of miseries that can be visited on a middle-aged woman are happening simultaneously to Alison Solomon (marriage break-up, the worry of an aging mother and a diagnosis of cancer), everybody tells her she should talk to someone.

Meanwhile, there's a ghostly woman hanging around outside her house and - is that a rat in the kitchen?

In My Husband and Other Rats, we follow Alison as she navigates a series of scrapes, crises and therapists, with the help of a hilarious cast of characters including an artisanal rat catcher, a useless cheating husband, long-lost family and wonderfully acerbic friends.

'THERE WON'T BE A FUNNIER BOOK IN 2026' CRESSIDA CONNOLLY

'BRINGS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR TO THE MID-LIFE CRISIS' JULIA SAMUEL
