ABOUT
THE BOOK

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…..
