Eats, Cheats and Leaves (How to deal with your philandering cad) is a humorous, self-help book in light verse. Beautifully illustrated by the cartoonist Gemma Hastilow (of Horrible Science fame), each verse takes us through the traumas of the woman betrayed, and how to deal with that philandering man. Starting with the caveat that: It isn't just men who're unfaithful, Some women are equally bad, But this booklet is written For women once bitten By the classic philandering cad. It therefore makes no apology for addressing women, who are told how to spot the philanderer, and then, for the unfortunate majority who don't spot him in time, how to deal with him and the chaos he causes. The verse takes us through 5 clearly marked parts, from discovery, through grief, anger and action-plan to recovery, and each part addresses the reader directly. This is a book for all women who have ever been betrayed, and for all women who are likely to be betrayed (so pretty much every woman). It is fast-paced, optimistic and a bit of a lark. As Caroline Sanderson from The Bookseller says: 'This witty and wise consolation in verse should be made available on prescription for every wronged woman. It dispenses oodles of sisterly succour, and lashings of healing humour.'
