Harry Silver returns to face life in the 'blended family.' A wonderful new novel about modern times, which can be read as a sequel to the million selling Man and Boy, or completely on its own. Man and Wife is a novel about love and marriage -- about why we fall in love and why we marry about why we stay and why we go. Harry Silver is a man coming to terms with a divorce and a new marriage. He has to juggle with time and relationships, with his wife and his ex-wife, his son and his stepdaughter, his own work and his wife's fast-growing career. Meanwhile his mother, who stood so steadfastly by his father until he died, is not getting any younger or stronger herself. In fact, everything in Harry's life seems complicated. And when he meets a woman in a million, it gets even more so! Man and Wife stands on its own as a brilliant novel about families in the new century, written with all the humour, passion and superb storytelling that have made Tony Parsons a favourite author in over thirty countries.

Akik olvasták az Apa és fiá-t, szeretnék tudni, hogyan alakul Harry Silver és kisfia sorsa. Harry egy őrült pillanatban tönkretette a házasságát, hogy aztán keserves munkával, sok tanulás után kapjon még egy esélyt a sorstól. Volt felesége, Gina férjhez ment, és magához vette kisfiúkat, Patet, de Harry is megtalálta a szerelmet és a családot Cyd oldalán. A baj csak az, hogy Harry örök romantikus, aki nem tudja elviselni, hogy elmúltak a mézeshetek. Bántja, hogy Cyd rengeteget dolgozik saját cégét építgetve, hogy nem úgy érez Pat iránt, mintha a vér szerinti anyja lenne, és még nem akar közös gyereket. Egy válással a háta mögött Harry komolyan fontolóra veszi, hogy harmadszor is újrakezdi - és megint valaki mással. Tökéletesen félresiklani látszik az élete. A sors ekkor megint közbeszól: imádott édesanyja megbetegszik, Gina majdnem újra elválik, és Cyd kislánya, Peggy balesetet szenved. Tudja-e folytatni a tanulást Harry, megérti-e végre az emberi kapcsolatok lényegét - kiderül a regényből.
