____________________
'The wife likes to read romantic fiction. The books are a fantasy and an escape for her.
The husband does not waste his time on silly stories. He likes to read books about things that really happened and tales of real men.
Reading these will be invaluable if he ever has to land on the moon or be in the S.A.S. or help manage the England football team.'

'The husband likes to do simple repairs, like changing the washer on a tap.
Afterwards he likes to talk at great length about what a struggle it was, and will want to be treated as if he has invented a machine that turns farts into gold.'

—— Sunday TelegraphTold with admirable candour
—— Woman & HomeHardly short of a masterpiece...Diana Melly writes with compelling candour
—— Daily TelegraphThis is Diana Melly's book, and she has the good literary sense (and the courage) to live in its pages in a way that makes me throw my hat in the air
