Description
At 72, Gregor McLeod is mourning the death of his wife Kate. Yet, as he navigates this recent bereavement, it becomes clear that McLeod has been a womaniser in the past.
This comic novel follows McLeod's adventures with various attractive women at home and abroad, raising questions about whether we ever truly outgrow 'childish things'. With its sharp wit, pace and wry wisdom, Childish Things is a compelling exploration of this theme, presented with captivating insight and delicious humour.
