English Summary/英文概要： The final episode in the trilogy that began with the million-copy bestseller MAN AND BOY, followed with MAN AND WIFE and ends ten years on with MEN FROM THE BOYS.
Ten years on from MAN AND BOY, it is crunch time for Harry…
Life is good for Harry Silver. He has a beautiful wife, three wonderful children and a great job as producer of the cult radio show, A Clip Round the Ear. But Harry is about to turn forty and his ex-wife is back in town. Soon it could be time to kiss the good life goodbye…
When Harry’s 14-year-old son Pat moves out to live with his mother, the hard times have only just begun. With his son gone, his job at risk and his wife unsettled by the reappearance of her own ex, their dream seems to be falling apart.
Into the chaos of Harry Silver’s life stroll two old soldiers who fought alongside Harry’s late father in The Battle of Monte Cassino in the spring of 1944. Will these two grumpy old men help Harry reclaim his son, his family and his life? And can they show Harry Silver what it really means to be a man?
Funny, moving and unforgettable, MEN FROM THE BOYS is a story of how we live now.

如果你讀過《男人與男孩》、《男人與妻子》或《那些男人的故事》其中任何一本，其實很容易就會發現：
東尼帕森這個寫樂評出身的傢伙，文字不僅犀利明快、充滿英式詼諧，更厲害的是à
他非常擅長描寫男人的內心世界，不論是年輕的、上了年紀的，已婚的、未婚的，還是不管上了年紀，但始終還是擁有一顆pumping heart的男人。
不過他今年這本新作，描寫的不是男人或男孩，也不是一個男人跟一個女人之間的愛情或婚姻，而是父子感情à
聽起來有感覺像是某個人正在進化成長中，是吧?!
沒錯，10年過去了，生活待哈利不薄。他有一個漂亮老婆，三個好小孩和一個很讚的工作─在電台當製作人。只不過，哈利也已經快要邁入40歲…的中年年紀，而且他的前妻回來了， 30幾歲過的好日子似乎很快也會跟著說88.
哈利的14歲兒子派特和他老婆搬離家，只是哈利步入中年苦日子的開始。兒子離開後，他的工作也面臨危機，而他老婆的前任丈夫居然又再度出現..
就在這一團混亂之中，哈利老爸以前打仗的軍中同僚居然也出現在他的生活之中。這兩個老男人是否有辦法幫助哈利贏回兒子、他的家庭與生活？他們是否能讓哈利了解所謂身為一個「男人」到底究竟是怎麼一回事？
帕森的這本新作延續他ㄧ貫讓人捧腹大笑卻又感動不已的寫作水準，讓他的書比百憂解還靈lol(KC)
