A novel about family, love and uncertainty.
One moment can change your life forever . . .
Joel Miller is waiting for his girlfriend Lisa to take a pregnancy test. While Lisa stalls for time by painting her toes and taking a bath, Miller spends the day waiting outside the bathroom door and considering potential fatherhood. As he waits, Miller looks back at his own childhood and questions what went wrong with his parent's marriage, if he's ready to be a father, and whether the right girl got away.
An everyman for his generation, Miller, and his relations, are explored with a remarkable combination of irony, acerbic wit, astute observation and generosity. At points hilarious and heartbreaking, 'Reproduction Is The Flaw Of Love' is an entertaining and impressive debut novel, written in a distinct, exciting new voice.
