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...

Review:
"This slice of angst and affluenza is several cuts above the rest ... witty, observant and supremely intelligent" ( The Times)

"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" ( Daily Telegraph)

"If you're struggling to find your own inner yummy mummy, this is for you. After a few pages you'll want to make heroine Lucy Sweeney your best mate as her trials and tribulations wash away your own troubles" ( Woman)

"Above the usual class of post-baby fiction...an intelligent and funny look at modern parenting" ( Eve)

"This will have you laughing out loud with empathy" ( Star Magazine)
Book Description:

From the hugely popular Times columnist, her Sunday Times bestselling debut novel about modern motherhood.

'Hilarious ... a literary phenomenon to rival Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's

Diary and Allison Pearson's I Don't Know How She Does It ... Plays with the

chaos and comedy of 30-something metropolitan maternity and brings it to an

unexpectedly moving conclusion.' - Anna Wintour, Vogue

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. For Lucy Sweeney, motherhood isn't all astanga classes and Cath Kidston prints. It's much more little dippers swimming club and baby-sick decor, and there's not a herbal tea in sight. It's been years since the clothes mountain was less than a metre high, months since Lucy last remembered to have sex with her husband, and weeks since Toddler has taken up using the bathroom bin as a toilet. Lucy is living in a state of permanent emergency, and the white lies to cover up the trail of slummy mummy destruction are escalating. When Husband on a Short Fuse is a far cry from distracting Sexy Domesticated Dad; Yummy Mummy No 1 has more cashflow than parenting advice; and Alpha Mum is casting a slur on your questionable domestic habits, it's hard to remember exactly why anyone would give up a career and their sanity for three raucous sons and less than blissful domesticity. The Secret Life of a Slummy Mummy is an irresistible debut novel for those of us who are short on organisation and long on love, and who deep down know that it's about being a good enough parent, not Wonder Woman. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001077651
