The Whole Day Through

Short story and just ok, there are some really touching bits but it really lacks in terms of story. It's basically a series of situations involving Ben who is a Dr, his brother Bobby, his wife Chloe, his lost love Laura and Laura's “mummy” Dr Jellicoe (which sounds like a character from the League Of Gentlemen). It covers subjects of relationships, disability, sexually transmitted diseases, downs syndrome and naturism. I think with Patrick Gale I've got to the stage where a good book from him just feels alike a little bit of a disappointment.
