Críticas
Neil O'Sullivan "Financial Times" (UK) Heartbreakingly universal and full of killer lines on love and love lost.
"Evening Standard" (UK) Another brilliant novel that combines laughter and tears, love and sex -- and real human emotions.
"Observer" (UK) The same combination of self-deprecating humour and well-intentioned bafflement that endeared "Man and Boy" to millions of readers...A kind, warm, affectionate book.
"Mirror" (UK) Stylish, polished, complex and it really gets its teeth into the big issues of sex, love, family and friendship.
"Daily Mail" (UK) Tony Parsons'...novel is full of wit and piercingly sharp observations, but is written with such warmth and humour that, like Alfie, you will find it impossible not to become immersed in and touched by this story of love, sex, tragedy and redemption.
"Another winner."

Reseña del editor
From the bestselling author of Man and Boy and Man and Wife comes the charming story of a widower who doesn't believe you get a second chance at love. Full of biting social commentary and overwhelming emotion, One for My Baby is a warm and witty novel of love, family, sex, and Tai Chi. Returning to London from Hong Kong after a brief, idyllic marriage ends in tragedy, Alfie Budd finds his world collapsing. Believing his chance for love has passed, he takes comfort in fleeting affairs with his students at Churchill's Language School while watching his parents' marriage, his grandmother's health, and his career ambitions rapidly deteriorate. But then Alfie meets two people who help him to start healing: the old Chinese man he sees practicing Tai Chi in the park every morning and a single mother who needs Alfie's help in completing her education. Soon, our bereft widower is learning much more than Tai Chi and falling for one student above all others. But can Alfie give up meaningless sex for a meaningful relationship? And how much room in our hearts do we really have for love?
