The Letters of Tabula and Saint Patrick are two books in one, both reflecting family life in perplexing, adventurous environments.

It's crowned with the further adventures of the Rosas and the Batistes, both before and after Poole's novel Gohm. These include Darcee and Tabula's toddler days involving some strange fruit, bad dreams, and a first reading experience. It also looks to the future, where Tabula and Gohm are married and yet to conceive, and Darcee has yet to find someone. Saint Patrick features thirteen short stories that continue the adventures of Patrick and Leah Curlewis. He's a supernatural psychiatrist and an actor. The stories follow his adventures in Hollywood and Melbourne, Australia, and all the movie lots and psych wards in between. Therein lies romance, family, and the challenges of relationships. Plus there's a boatload of Dad jokes.
