Lad-lit favourite Mike Gayle’s next novel The Importance of Being a Bachelor was due for release in April 2010 but has been brought forward and will now be released on 18th February 2010! It sounds like another great read from Mike:

Despite the example of their own parents’ enduring marriage, the three Bachelor brothers show no signs of settling down. Adam has a string of glamorous girlfriends, but they aren’t suitable wife material. Luke has just proposed to Cassie but his refusal to consider having children looks like an insurmountable barrier. And baby of the family Russell is in love with the one woman he can’t have.

Then their father announces he has been thrown out of the family home and this forces all three brothers to examine their own priorities.

Are all three Bachelor brothers totally hopeless cases or just late starters?
