About this ebook:
“A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants.” London, New Year’s Eve 1999. On the brink of a new Millennium and on the wrong side of thirty, Leigh Harper is trapped in a dead-end relationship and a job he can't stand. What’s more, he’s been in lust with Melanie from the office for ever and a day and she’s about to be transferred to the Leicester branch. But with his girlfriend away and a party to end all parties organised, everything's about to change dramatically for Leigh, just not necessarily in quite the way he would have planned . . . ‘But things are changing. After centuries of submission, women are finally standing up for themselves.’ ‘I thought all that feminist stuff went out in the eighties.’ ‘It did, but there’s something much better now. It’s called Empowerment. I read about it in my magazine.’ Melanie had then produced a glossy publication from her bag, flipping through to find the page. ‘Listen to this,’ she said, reading aloud. ‘It’s official; women are just much better at most things than men. When it comes to people skills and organisation, they win hands down. More women are in managerial positions than ever before and many are earning more than their partners, giving them the resources to break away from centuries of male domination. The ultimate rejection of men is the increasing number of women choosing to have babies with anonymous donor sperm and bringing up the baby without the need of a man.’ She paused, her eyes skimming through to the next section. ‘This is the best bit; ‘time is running out for the macho male. He is running scared and feels helpless, because he knows he’s guilty and fears retribution.’ Melanie looked up and waited to allow the full effect of the words to sink in. ‘It says, it’s the guilt from the way they’ve been treating us girls for the last two thousand years. They’ve even got a name for it. It’s called The Albatross Syndrome.’ ‘Albatross Syndrome?’ squealed Alison, clapping her hands in amusement, and picturing Leigh with an oversized white bird hanging around his neck. ‘Yeah, some bloke in America discovered it. It’s apparently a bestseller already. Must be a lot of guilty men in the world.’ The Albatross Syndrome is a zany, laugh out loud novel about the messy world of love, life and relationships in the 21st century.

Such a rich narrative. The prose is exquisite. It’s accessible yet undeniably sophisticated. Worth every moment spent reading.

Honestly one of the most premium reading experiences lately. The prose is exquisite. It’s accessible yet undeniably sophisticated. An effortless 5 stars.

A decent, if standard, experience. It verged on repetitive in the second act. A more concise edit would have served it well. Unlikely to reread, but a reasonable expenditure of time.
