One for My Baby by Tony Parsons
Literature and Fiction

Alfie Budd found the perfect woman with whom to spend the rest of his life and then lost her. He doesn't believe you get a second chance at love.

Returning to the England he left behind during the brief, idyllic time of his marriage, Alfie finds the rest of his world collapsing around him. He takes comfort in a string of pointless, transient affairs, and he tries to learn Tai Chi from an old Chinese man, George Chang.

Will Alfie ever find a family life as strong as the Changs'? And can he give up meaningless sex for a meaningful relationship?
