Description
Meet Mick and John. Twins who share almost everything.
Mick is the man who made it. A TV doctor with a lovely home, married to gorgeous Jules and now with the perfect daughter. There's only one problem. His conjoined twin brother. Joined at the hip doesn't even begin to describe it.
In this rollicking, free-wheeling novel, John - our narrator - vents his frustrations in bravura style. A struggling writer, alcoholic and demonstrative admirer of his sister-in-law, how can things possibly end well?
Funny and thought-provoking, Freak of Nature is an ingenious reworking of the classic love triangle.
