Very smart, very funny and very sad...it nails what it means to lots of us to be alive and female in 2011

Meet Kate Reddy, mother of two and successful business woman. A victim of time famine, Kate counts seconds like other women count calories. Factor in a manipulative nanny, an Australian boss who looks at Kates breasts as if theyre on special offer, a long-suffering husband, her quietly aghast in-laws, two needy children and an e-mail lover, and you have a woman juggling so many balls that some day soon somethings going to hit the ground.

In an uproariously funny and achingly sad novel, Allison Pearson brilliantly dramatises the dilemma of working motherhood.
