About the book

The addictive new comic novel from Deborah Moggach, author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Russell 'Buffy' Buffery -- erstwhile thespian and thrice-married B&B owner -- has hit on an idea: "So you've split up. It happens to the best of us. But marriage is a division of labour and chances are you've relied on your Better Half for something you can't do yourself -- fixing the house, sorting out the finances. When they've gone, you're as helpless as a baby. Enrol in Courses for Divorces and in a week you'll be able to stand on your own two feet. This, plus the beautiful countryside and three-course dinners with locally-sourced products, will set you on the road to recovery. The first course, Basic Car Maintenance, starts on 15 September. It's cheaper than therapy And who knows? Maybe it won't just be the spark-plugs that ignite." Debbie 'Best Exotic' Moggach has struck gold with this fabulous comedy set in the Knockton countryside. Join Buffy and his raggle-taggle group of singletons and divorcees as they seek solace and late-flowering love in her new hilarious bestseller.
