On marriage, parenthood & relationships from Man & Boy by Tony Parsons:
- It felt to me that Gina and I - and the million couples just like us - hadn't left much of an inheritance for the next generation.
'It worked between us because we made it work' my mother said. 'Because we wanted it to work. Because- even when we didn't have money, even when we couldn't have a baby - we didn't chuck in the towel. You have to fight for your happy ending, Harry. It doesn't just drop in your lap.'
& oh, on Page 172, he referred to Filipinas as Phillippinas. Was I born yesterday or were Filipinos/as called this in another lifetime!?!
