About the book: 2011 / Continuation of the story about the loser Harry Silver, begun in the novel "Man and Boy, or Man and Boy" - a book that became an international bestseller and won the title of Book of the Year in Great Britain. Harry's second marriage not only does not remove the problems in which he is stuck, like in a quagmire, but creates new ones every day. Here there is mutual jealousy, and forced departure from service, and the alienation of the grown-up children, especially the son Pat, who seems to be repeating the fate of his unlucky parent. And if not for the saving intervention of old Ken Grimwood, a former special forces soldier from the Royal Marines, the life of the unlucky Harry Silver would have completely turned into hell.
