Mr Dempsey is just married after a surprise romance. Formerly Father Frank, a Roman Catholic Priest, he is now like Superman divested of his powers. Except Frank Dempsey isn't always off duty - when he isn't driving his black cab for the local taxi firm, he is in demand to speak at weddings, christenings and funerals. When he becomes a different sort of Father Frank, he realises it will take a miracle, on the scale of feeding the five thousand with one loaf of bread, to provide for his new family. How on earth is he going to do it? The answer comes from a very surprising source.

Review
'A fast and entertaining read ... It all has a Richard Curtis-esque veneer ... it works because it's real' Sunday Express on The Man Who Fell in Love with His Wife 'Laughs a-plenty as former Father Frank Dempsey copes with being a dad' Daily Mirror on The Man Who Fell in Love with His Wife 'A very skilful practitioner of a genre hitherto dominated by Nick Hornby and Tony Parsons ... this novel should secure his position in that particular literary gang' Time Out on The Man Who Fell in Love with His Wife 'Like a gift from heaven' OK! on The Man Who Fell in Love with His Wife 'A perfect gem of warmth and humour with a charming twist, it is highly addictive and worthy of mass recommendation.' The Bookseller on The Man Who Fell in Love with His Wife

4.0 out of 5 stars
Quite a good little book,
This review is from: Man Who Fell in Love With His Wife (Hardcover)
Warm and humorous. So claims a back cover blurb. That is exactly right. I love this book. It required an act of will not to interrupt Jan at her work every two minutes to recite bits of it. Many bits. Most bits.
Some back cover blurb bozos want to compare the author to people I've never read. That's not nice. In fact, I don't like comparing anybody to anybody else. But hell, I'm gonna compare this guy to Terry Pratchett. That's a compliment, okay? I love this book. I'm gonna keep it for a while.
