Rooms of One's Own: 50 Places That Made Literary… by Adrian Mourby

We Think The World Of Him by Adrian Mourby
Duncan becomes a house-husband after a redundancy while his wife returns to work full-time. Interesting scenario, leading to a well-paced and believable book with a good mixture of people. Encouraging.
