Synopsis
A gently comic tale about a forty-six-year-old man who discovers that life can surprise him in the most unlikely ways. With witty dialogue, keen social observation, and a cast of memorable family and neighbors, this novel crafts a warm, lightly satirical portrait of manners, love, and small-town gossip.
Set among discreet country houses, a London office, and a seaside inn, the story centers on Mr. Tubbs as he negotiates duty, desire, and the tangled web of family expectations. It threads humor through everyday moments—from teasing siblings to the quiet tension of budding romance—while keeping the focus squarely on character and choice.
- Character-driven humor and charm that spark gentle, humanizing insights.
- A vivid social milieu with intimate, observant storytelling.
- A developing romance threaded through misunderstandings and resolve.
- A light, readable pace that balances warmth with a touch of irony.
Ideal for readers who enjoy discreet wit, affectionate portraits of family life, and romances built on patience, humor, and steady nerve.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book follows Thomas Tubbs, a middle-aged man who has led a sheltered life, as he embarks on a new chapter after retiring from the family business. Having always lived with his sister and never made any romantic advances, Thomas is unsure of what to expect from this new stage of his life. While on holiday in Cli'borough, Thomas meets Sylvia and her fiancà Kenny and is invited to stay at their aunt's boarding house, Eldorado.
