IT'S WHAT WE DO: SORT OF A LOVE STORY is a humorous, episodic novel about a man in his 70s who becomes a single parent when his wife leaves him just as they adopted a little girl from China.Mario Cervello is besieged by lost love, uncertainly, obsessions, tiredness and, most of all onions-they are the source, as he tries often to explain, of "monumental gastric distress."His daughter Happy is his sole potential for redemption.
