About this listen

‘The novel walks a line between comedy and wrenching sadness. It is fluently written and its depiction of domestic chaos … is all too recognisable’ Sunday Times

A Family Man tells the story of thirty one year old Matt Webster, who arrives home from work one day to find that his wife, Kath, has walked out, leaving him to care for their four year old son.

Shock and hurt are compounded by the challenge of suddenly having to juggle work with being a single parent.

While the needs of his confused, unhappy little son come first, Matt embarks on the difficult quest to find out what could have driven his wife to abandon their child.

It is only as the truth emerges that he learns the full heartbreak and joy of unconditional love.

A brilliant, heart-felt story perfect for fans of Ann Patchett.

The story was so good that I persevered with the narrator who I found, due to the depth of her voice, difficult to understand, unless I listened very intently.

A totally engaging story.

A rather lightweight story by a usually excellent author performed in a very poor fashion.

Disappointing
