Thus begins a series of several remarkable schemes rendered with an entertaining mix of humor and delicately suggestive questioning. Soon, a homeless boy named Monkey is eating at the Carr table, and David is giving away his children’s prized toys.
The divorce is called off, and DJ and David begin tackling the problem of homeless children in Holloway by persuading neighbors to take individual kids for a year or so.
It seems he has begun receiving “treatments” from DJ GoodNews, whose impeccably beneficent persona persuades David to embrace the love in the world and nourish it as he can. She confides the affair and suggests a divorce David instructs her to tell their two children during his three-day absence she dithers, and when David returns he apologizes for not loving her properly. Husband David, a newspaper columnist known as “the Angriest Man in Holloway,” is insufferably cynical and absorbed by his public spleen-spitting. Narrator Katie Carr, a 40-something doctor in England’s National Health Service, finds herself disenchanted with her marriage and in the midst of an affair. Though the 72-hour metamorphosis is a bit of a stretch, no matter: this hilarious romp entirely justifies the wise reader’s agreement to play along.
