| Elwright Pinchneck is in the sex business. He owns sex shops and massage parlors. Up until 5 years ago, he had a business partner and a very active sex life with the daughter of one of his employees. Then his partner died and he discovered that his lover hadn’t been faithful to him! Since then, he’s had a bit of a problem. He has no desire for sex. All he wants to do is make money!
Christmas Eve brings him a few visitors, starting with his late partner Jasper Wailer, and they remind him of what was, is and they show him what will be. They also show him what would have happened had he never been born. Emy Naso gives us a hysterical slant on the old Charles Dickens tale. I have never laughed so hard. Everything, from the characters’ names to descriptions, thoughts and antics, was written so “tongue-in-cheek”; it’s a virtual impossibility not to laugh! Looking for something lighthearted to make “real life” go away for an hour or so? This is the book! I truly enjoyed it!
