About

The latest novel from the hilarious Sunday Times No 1 bestselling Why Mummy series. It's almost Mummy's 50th birthday. The hot flushes have just started, and nowadays she barely recognises herself. She's been a wife and mother for so long that she can't quite remember what life was like pre-moppets (although they're more like giants now). Speaking of, Jane is constantly partying and naturally more interested in passing her driving test than her A-Levels. In fact, trying to get the kids through their exams at all is almost as excruciating as waiting for their results. Or sitting by their bedside when one of them has an utterly stupid accident (here's looking at you, Peter). And then there's Simon and his truly irritating girlfriend, constantly poking her nose in. Not that Mummy's new man is fairing much better. Coupled with the ongoing battle with the horrible HR woman, an impending partially empty nest and the stress of elderly parents, it's all getting a bit much. Can Mummy keep up the facade while keeping her family afloat as everyone starts drifting off in different directions? And more importantly, can she find the time to pour herself a large G+T along the way...? • The first in the series was the number 1 bestselling debut fiction hardback of 2017 • Gill's Peter and Jane Facebook page now exceeds 399k followers. • Last year, Gill travelled to 35 towns and cities across the country, selling over 10,000 tickets to her sell out live theatre tour. • 2019 was also the year that saw Radio 4 dramatise WMD for a whole week and Why Mummy Swears is due to be broadcast next year during our publication week for this release.
