The Book of George : A Novel

Summary: If you havent had the misfortune of dating a George, you know someone who has. Hes a young man brimming with potential, but incapable of following through; sweet yet noncommittal to his long-suffering girlfriend; distant from but still reliant on his mother; charmingly funny one minute, sullenly brooding the next. Here, Kate Greathead paints one particular, unforgettable George in a series of droll and surprisingly poignant snapshots of his life over two decades. It is an unexpectedly moving portrait of one man - but also countless others. From the author of 'Laura & Emma'.
