They say when you leap off a tall building, your entire life flashes before your eyes in fast-forward. It feels a bit like that, only
sort of - in reverse. I see my dreams of EMI recording contracts, Wembley Stadium and under-age groupies fading to black. My chance of recognition as a songwriter of distinction, a bass player of style and flair, slipping through fingers greased with zinc and castor oil. And, into the foreground, sharp, focused and bowel-twitchingly clear, are scenes of domesticity, practicality... femininity. All played in slow motion on the longest extended-play tape in the universe. Have I got this wrong? Would someone please tell me if I have? Because the fact is, as I see it I have just agreed to become a House Husband.'
The many trials and tribulations of Andy's role reversal are relayed in this wonderful debut novel which is sad, funny and, at times, seriously profound about the things in life that really matter: love, sex, children, music and - yes! - the Eurovision Song Contest.
