Father to the man - Adrian Plass

In `Father To The Man', Adrian Plass's latest collection of short stories, we meet funny, fallible, vulnerable characters - people just like us, in fact - many of whom are facing an important crisis point or decision in their lives.A forty-something bloke who is alienated from his wife and son and whose best friend - reliable drinking companion for many years - suddenly and inexplicably becomes a Christian, is suddenly forced to view his life in a different way. A bereaved family, faced with Grandma's last cake, find a whole new meaning to the Bible story of the Last Supper.As ever, the stories are laced with the characteristic Plass humour, but they will challenge as well as amuse.
