Product Description
For Lucy Sweeney, motherhood isn't all astanga yoga and Cath Kidston prints. It has been years since the dirty washing 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.
When Husband on a Short Fuse is no contest for the distractions of Sexy Domesticated Dad; Yummy Mummy No 1 has more cash flow than parenting advice; and Alpha Mum is putting 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.
Lucy is living in a state of permanent emergency and the white lies to cover up the trail of chaos and illicit desire are about to be exposed ...
An irresistible first novel about the dilemmas of motherhood and modern marriage for those who never discovered their domestic goddess within.
Hubby brought home this book for me from London. We had an interesting disagreement about fictions books. Apparently he's not into them. According to him it's not a very smart investment buying books which you buy for the fun of reading a story. He believes there should be a worthwhile lesson which can only come from motivational and self-help books. Heheh.. I couldn't agree more. But hey! I need a cheap getaway. And books are the best!!! So after a very short arguement, he let it go. And came back with this book. Who says happy couples never argue. It's just a matter of how you wisely handle the disagreement. Hah!
p/s: I did learn something from this book though. Never ever ever share your fantasy with friends... HAHAHAHAH!!!!
