Why Do We Have To Live With Men?

Why Do We Have To Live With Men?

Tipped over the edge by one wet towel on the bed too many, a group of women start a commune deep in the West Country. The only rule is NO MEN: it promises a nirvana of tidiness, mutual support and the loo seat left down.

Cat O'Connor is not convinced. She's rather attached to her man, even though he's too old and too married to somebody else. When this she-wolf careerist suddenly finds herself jobless, homeless and manless, she reconsiders.

The commune welcomes her with open arms. It's refreshingly bloke-free, but Cat discovers that women are no angels.

Vegetable-related subterfuge, secret passions and a pig named Dave all help her to answer the age old question...

Why DO we have to live with Men? is packed full of laugh-out-loud humour, emotional warmth and astute observations on life and love. Strachan’s latest romantic comedy will appeal to fans of Jill Mansell and Katie Fforde... and any female who has ever had to put the loo seat down, again.
