The Best a Man Can Get by John O'Farrell

Fatherhood and freedom collide with comic consequences

Good Condition – noticeable cover creasing and edge wear with page-edge tanning.

Michael Adams appears to be a devoted husband and father, but he secretly maintains a separate flat where he pretends to be single and escapes the demands of family life. The arrangement seems ideal until lies multiply, responsibilities overlap and both versions of his life begin to collapse. John O'Farrell turns domestic anxiety into sharp comedy, exploring marriage, masculinity and the fantasy of having everything without sacrifice. Funny and revealing, the novel follows a man discovering that avoiding adulthood may create far more trouble than facing it.
