'DIZZYINGLY GOOD . . . HILARIOUS AND HEART-WARMING, AS IT VEERS FROM THE MUNDANE TO THE ABSURD' DAILY MAIL
'THE BEST SORT OF BRITISH COMIC WRITING . . . TRUTHFUL, TENDER AND VERY FUNNY' PANDORA SYKES
An irresistible comic novel centred on the various crises of middle-aged Alison, for fans of Nina Stibbe and Marian Keyes
When the full catalogue of miseries that can be visited on a middle-aged woman are happening all at once to Alison Solomon, everybody tells her she should talk to someone. But it's hard, really hard, to find the right therapist.
Meanwhile, there's a ghostly woman hanging around outside her house and - is that a rat in the kitchen?
In My Husband and Other Rats, we follow Alison as she navigates a series of scrapes, crises and therapists, with the help of a hilarious cast of characters including an artisanal rat catcher, a useless cheating husband, long-lost family and wonderfully acerbic friends.
