內容簡介

Ten years on from MAN AND BOY, it is crunch time for Harry… Life is good for Harry Silver. He has a beautiful wife, three wonderful children and a great job as producer of the cult radio show, A Clip Round the Ear. But Harry is about to turn forty and his ex-wife is back in town. Soon it could be time to kiss the good life goodbye… When Harry's fifteen-year-old son Pat moves out to live with his mother, the hard times have only just begun. With his son gone, his job at risk and his wife unsettled by the reappearance of her own ex, their dream seems to be falling apart. Into the chaos of Harry Silver's life stroll two old soldiers who fought alongside Harry's late father in The Battle of Monte Cassino in the spring of 1944. Will these two grumpy old men help Harry reclaim his son, his family and his life? And can they show Harry Silver what it really means to be a man? Funny, moving and unforgettable, MEN FROM THE BOYS is a story of how we live now.

自《男人與男孩》十年之後，亨利·斯爾夫現處於關鍵時刻。其實，命運待其不薄。 他有一位漂亮的妻子，三個可愛的兒女，就連製作的廣播節目《一記耳光》也風靡一時。 在亨利馬上進入不惑之年的時候，前妻回來了。 看來好日子到頭了。果然，他十五歲的兒子派特要搬走跟前妻一起住，而這僅僅是磨難的開始。 接著自己的工作也危在旦夕，更可怕的是，妻子在她的前夫重新出現後變得飄忽不定。看來他們的夢想是無法實現了。就在此時，兩名曾與亨利的先父在1944年春天爆發的蒙特卡西諾戰役中並肩作戰的老戰士進入他猶如一團亂麻的生活。
