This is the continuing story of misfit Simon Broom and his side-kick girlfriend Julie Bucket as they experience life in China, as told through Simon’s eyes, ears and everything else! In Book 1 (Bucket and Broom in China), the young couple arrive in Shanghai after having been hired as English teachers by the international department of a Chinese-managed school. The story covers eight months in the young couple's lives as they interact with other expat teachers and strive to understand each other, and themselves, in an alien culture. The book ends with Julie announcing she is pregnant.
In ‘Bucket & Broom Tie the Knot’, the couple have finally found their feet in Shanghai, where Julie is expecting any day. But who is the father? Simon is driven from pillar to post whilst he tries to answer this question – stumbling across American journalist Sam James on the way. Falling in love with Sam, Simon is more confused than ever about his life and turns, as usual, to his friend and mentor Anton for guidance. Meanwhile, we meet the Bucket family, and catch up with Simon’s father, who makes a surprising announcement. A cocktail of entertaining and interesting questions about life are humorously mixed with Bucket & Broom’s blend of comic rapport to produce Simon & Julies' unique way of looking at the World. And what's that about aliens?
