If you have been looking for a successor to ''Eat, Pray, Love'', then I commend the equally feelgood Learn Love in a Week to you. As with [[:Category:Nick Hornby|Nick Hornby]] or [[:Category:David Nichols|David Nichols]] before him, it’s much nicer to read the book before you see the film (which will inevitably follow). Yes, we are talking class act here.
It’s not often that an author handles both male and female points of view with equal confidence and verve. The versatile Mr Clover is totally convincing as wife Polly, wage earner and family manager; and husband Arthur, an unemployed Writer, Actor, and overworked Dad. He should know: Andrew Clover is the male Slummy Mummy, writing a warm and witty Sunday Times column about his own stay-at-home husband role over the past couple of years. If you missed them, check out [http://www.andrewclover.co.uk his website] to convince yourself that his writing is not to be missed.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending such an enjoyable read.
I also thoroughly enjoyed the real-life domestic comedy, [[Pig in the Middle by Matt Whyman]], and [[Javascotia by Benjamin Obler]], about drinking coffee, is a younger Arthur Midgely at work.
