No one goes into marriage thinking about getting out again. But that's exactly what's happened to Bart, Jas, Nick and Monty: four old friends facing a new common fate - bachelorhood mark two.
But just how wondrous is this second stroll through the single life? Yes, they can stay out late, playing poker and drinking beer, but for all the domestic calm and sexual liberty, it's hard having no one to please but themselves.
While Monty ponders the wreck of his marriage and Bart falls for a beautiful stranger, it's down to Jas and Nick to lead the cheer for this freedom thing. It's not until the new women in their lives start to rattle their cage that anyone realises they're still in one . . .
Warm, witty and wonderfully observed, Phil Hogan's second novel explores the contours of life after marriage, a place where love battles with loyalty, obsession with restraint and friend with friend.
