"If women are so much trouble, Ray, why do you always want more
than one?" Parallel narratives of a schoolboy’s developing first
love affair and his career and marriage unravelling 25 years later
eventually converge at a school reunion. Ray Roden is a Fenland
schoolboy in trouble with teachers and friends as well as women
after his boys’ grammar merges with the girls’ high. He has
already met Tina: that girl would give me some of the best moments
of my life. And the worst. Ray Roden is an insurance executive
travelling the Caribbean in trouble with his job, his wife (one of
them Roper girls), his children – and still women: "this last ten
days I’ve been kicked out of their beds by my wife, my girlfriend
and a … another one." And then there is Hurricane Martin,
‘storm of the century’, heading straight for his home in Puerto
Rico. Alongside humorous scenes in Ray’s unenlightened
development from schoolboy clumsiness to mid-life crisis
mismanagement are grimmer adult ones including adultery, alcohol
abuse, physical and sexual assault. Will he emerge from his school
reunion with more than one, one, ‘the one’ or no woman at all?
