Synopsis: Alfie Budd found the perfect woman with whom to spend the rest of his life-and then lost her. He doesn't believe you get a second chance at love.
Returning to the England he left behind during the brief, idyllic time of his marriage, Alfie finds the rest of hiw world collapsing around him. He takes comfort in a stirng of pointless, transient affairs, and he tries to learn Tai Chi from and old Chinese man, George Chang.
Will Alfie ever find a family life as strong as the Changs? And can he give up meaningless sex for a meaningful relationship?

My Verdict: As with all Tony Parsons books, his stories are written with such dexterity about relationships, love and family matters. This story follows a character named Alfie, a broken man who returns from Hong Kong following a tragedy and has to face life back home. The common theme that stretches across the book is about finding a second chance at happiness in life? It's a pleasant read with endearing characters in the book.
