Desmond never did have much luck with women – except in getting them through their driving tests. Now a coach driver, he is at the most crucial crossroads of his life. His wife has thrown him out. The crisis serves only to deepen his despair over another failed liaison – until he elects to steer his coach on a spectacularly reckless quest for the son he has never seen.

Critic reviews

'Moggach, for the purposes of the book, has turned herself into a bloke. His monologue throughout strikes me as totally authentic, but not only does Moggach get his lingo right, she thinks through his head, dramatizing his confusion, decency, wit, pain and determination. This is not just ventriloquism, but empathy so complete as to be phenomenal.' (Irish Times)
'At once acutely funny and sad … a woman's protest at the inequality thrust on men by the worse excesses of the women’s movement.' (Mail on Sunday)
'Poignant and funny … Deborah Moggach is brilliant at capturing just the right voice for her characters.' (Cosmopolitan)
