A man for all the rooms of the house
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Women who read this book are very grateful for a male character they can actually like. As a feminist, I think this is extremely important.Gabe is real - smart, funny, not a male model, beset by worries and a MENCH. He tries to do the right thing for the right reasons.Relationships take work and this novel shows people who work constructively.Looking forward to another novel. Are you listening "Woody?"

We follow Gabe's dilemma - being a waiter, wanting to be a writer, but becoming a lover to a woman, who should be his employee. Personal matters are splitting him up to the crucial point, when he decides, what's the most important thing in his life. Wood has written a story of life, which often happens in reality, he only added some glamour to it and a happy ending (which is not so common in real life). I like it.
