Little Bits of Baby - Hardcover

Patrick Gale was born in 1962 on the Isle of Wight. He was educated at Winchester and Oxford and now writes full time.

'Love, death, the decay of friendship, the triumph of love - all the big themes are here in small doses, cunningly plotted and skilfully interwoven by Patrick Gale, who writes like Iris Murdoch on pep pills. Savage, satirical, often very funny, this highly readable comedy of middle-class manners is written by a young author of boundless talent. One to watch.' Daily Mail 'Gale describes strong emotions with conviction. He shows the diversity of passionate behaviour, sometimes hilarious, sometimes threatening, but always skilfully contained within a comedy of contemporary manners.' The Times 'A richly comic novel about the equilibrium of urban lives and loves upset by an outsider. Affectionate and perceptive.' Mail on Sunday 'His discreet exploration of love between the generations and the sexes is by turn poignant and humourous.' Vogue 'Sharp insights into a thoroughly modern marriage.' Sunday Times 'This is a witty book with more than a touch of satire, but which deals with love, pain, death and laughter with an extraordinary depth of understanding.' She 'A wonderful, modern comedy of manners.' Company
