Learn Love in a Week

For fans of John O'Farrell and Slummy Mummy, one of the funniest books about relationships that you will ever read

The funniest book about relationships I've read in years

This is the kind of book that draws looks from strangers if read in public as it will have you laughing so much. More than just a fun read it’s also a saucy, modern fable that offers food for thought about distancing ourselves from our stresses, thwarted dreams and frustrations and working out what is really important.

Funny, well observed and moving. This book will make you smile

I laughed a thousand times and cried once. I rushed through it.

Christina Hopkinson, author of The Pile of Stuff at the Bottom of the Stairs

Loving a woman, raising a family and living a life have never seemed so funny. A brilliant and hilarious comic novel.

Superb. Touching and wise, but best of all very funny, with cracking one-liners and amusing scenes on nearly every page that made me laugh out loud and the other passengers on my train move to a different carriage.

Author Andrew Clover’s foray into the female psyche is totally spot-on, but it’s his male character’s perspective that’s refreshingly realistic

Andrew Clover is a Writer / Actor / Dad (a WAD). He has a wife and three kids and his life changed five years ago when his 'Dad Rules' column in the Sunday Times became a big hit. But apart from that, he’s absolutely nothing like the hero of this story.

Polly has been married to Arthur for ten years when she meets James Hammond. He's her Road Not Taken. The One That Got Away. He's also rich, and in one week he's inviting her to his hotel in the country to give her the job she's always wanted. He also wants her. 
 
Polly is so tempted. Arthur is gorgeous, but he's grumpy. He insists he can change, but can he? After ten years, can you learn to love? And if you could, would you still choose your partner?

How My Children Taught Me To Be a Good Parent

Dad Rules

Andrew Clover used to read books about Russian people who discover, after a long, long, long, long time, that life is bad. He now reads books about sheep who like hiding behind bushes. These books are much better. You can lift the flap and find a sheep. With the other books, you can't lift a flap and find a Russian. He does the 'Dad Rules' column at the back of the Sunday Times Style magazine. He is a comedian, writer and trophy husband. He lives with his wife, his three daughters and a female dog. Yes, that's a lot of women. In his house, he never rules.

'She says: "Darling let's have children". I know this is a historic moment. I must respond like a man. So I ignore her . . .' 
 
Sunday Times columnist Andrew Clover would like to share with you everything he's learned - the hard way - about childcare. Starting at the beginning, by asking why men are so terrified of breeding, he examines every worry a parent is likely to face: How can I make them sleep? How do I choose a good school? Will I ever have sex again? Why should I paint my face like a tiger? Wise and candid, this is the most truthful parenting guide of all time. It's also the funniest and most inspiring read any dad - or mum - could ever hope to read.
