"Jokes sneak in under the door, but so do truths about loyalty, compromise, and the sort of hope that clings on in the face of everyday heartbreak."
If you like your fiction funny, fast-moving, and full of unexpected depth, then The Three Wives of Charlie Mellon might just be your next favourite read.

This is a brilliant, light-hearted read that had me laughing out loud. I definitely recommend it! @bluefairybugsbooks
It’s in (this) balancing act — between the ridiculous and the quietly profound — that the novel shines. @accredited_aussie_book_addict

Curious about just why Charlie's wife loves him? Here’s the blurb (no spoilers):
Charlie Mellon is a follower of The Dao, with a heart of gold, a wife he loves, and one thousand left-foot Adidas trainers.
He’s a self-made wheeler-dealer, but when life throws a tiny stone of chaos his way, things quickly spiral. Suddenly, Charlie’s home—and even his marriage—are on the line.
To fix it all, he’ll need to:
-
Find 1,000 right-foot Adidas trainers,
-
Be in two places at once,
-
Dodge a builder who’s out for blood (because the man's wife is after something else).
All whilst maintaining his essential belief in 'Wu-Weu' - effortless action. That's not too much to ask? Is it?
