Publisher's Synopsis
Kitty Killin is not only a good storyteller but also the World's Great Expert when it comes to mothers having new and unwanted boyfriends, particularly when there's the danger they might turn into new and unwanted stepfathers. That's why she's sent down to talk to Helly Johnston in the dark privacy of the lost property cupboard, and why she tells Helly the story of her mum and Gerald Faulkner, also known as Goggle-Eyes, once the most unwanted boyfriend of them all.
