Description
For Lucy Sweeney, motherhood isn’t all astanga yoga and Cath Kidston prints. It’s been years since the dirty laundry pile was less than a metre high, months since Lucy remembered to have sex with her husband, and a week since she last did the school run wearing pyjamas. Motherhood, it seems, has more pitfalls than she might have expected. Caught between perfectionist Yummy Mummy No 1 and hypercompetitive Alpha Mum, Lucy is in danger of losing the parenting plot. And worst of all, she’s alarmingly distracted by Sexy Domesticated Dad. It’s only a matter of time before the dirty laundry quite literally blows up in her face…

This slice of angst and affluenza is several cuts above the rest … witty, observant and supremely intelligent |
|
Other text | There is something of Bridget Jones's hopeless-but-adorable quality about Lucy … Neill's hilarious depiction of the manifold daily perils of stay-at-home motherhood is so convincing that it soon looks like the most challenging job in the world – and Lucy is all the more sympathetic simply for staying afloat |
