I Don't Know How She Does It

[clareMc]

Dear Booklovers:

If you are looking for a fun, light hearted read in between more serious stuff, like "Lovely Bones" and "The Bone People" to cite two books members here are currently enjoying, then try the new British fiction "I Don't Know How She Does it".

I just finished it today, and enjoyed it. It's for all you women out there trying to "do it all" and wondering if you might not be missing out on something as you struggle on... if you are a working Mum (and let's face it, what Mum isn't?!?) and you find yourself making cupcakes for a school function at 2am, this funny and poignant tale may be for you!!!

I laughed out loud, and on several moments had tears clouding my vision also...think some spots hit a nerve!

Get it from a library near you and see if you can bear to put it down.... ;-)

Clare,
Thanks! I need the emotional lift after the heaviness of The Lovely Bones. I'll get it tomorrow. I have actually made cupcakes at midnight

I can top cupcakes ! I made spahetti bolognese at midnight once, when my eldest was 3 months old, for the the next day's dinner, as I was finding it hard to fit in cooking dinner during the day !!!!!!!!!

Clare,
Thanks for the recommendation. I'm about 1/2 way done with "The Bone People" and love it. I think this one will be my next book.
