Tony Parsons: Men and Boys
My children, your children and our children.
Plus everything else...
Harry Silver lives the perfect life. He has a beautiful wife, three wonderful children and a great job as a producer of the cult radio show "Marty Mann's Mumps". His fortieth birthday is approaching, and his ex-wife is returning to London. And it looks like Harry will soon have to say goodbye to the good life...
When his fourteen-year-old son Pat moves in with his mother, Harry's troubles are just beginning. His son is gone, his wife Cyd is disturbed by the return of his ex-wife, and the radio show whose producer is about to cause a real scandal that will put his job and career in question. Overnight, Harry's life turned into a nightmare...
In the midst of this chaos, two old soldiers, comrades of Harry's father, commandos of the Royal Navy, will walk into his life. Can these two lively old men help Harry get his son, his family and his old life back? And can they show Harry Silver what it really means to be a man?
