Publisher's Synopsis
Bill Stickers Is Innocent. by. Terry Mason. Bill Stickers is innocent, or so he says. He is also the owner of a waterbed shop and a former (minor) pop star. But, as the recession takes its toll and older people who have enjoyed the benefits of having had jobs all their lives, now find themselves on the dole, the pres-sure is truly on. Families find themselves in complete role reversal as women find it easier to get work. For many men, 'A man's place is in the home' just doesn't feel right somehow. But they may have to get used to it. With sex being the one human behaviour not diminished by the recession, ordinary people, with ordinary lives, and ordinary preoccupations find themselves in wildly different situations. Men who have lived for the nine-to-five of industry now find themselves as house husbands with their wives as the bread winners. Time on their hands and with many women still at home, something has to give.
