Description

Kate Reddy's life is a juggling act. As a hedge-fund manager, wife and mother of two, she's constantly monitoring nine currencies in five time zones while keeping up with the demands of her family and career. But when you add a manipulative nanny, piggish colleagues, a long-suffering husband, quietly aghast in-laws, needy children and an email lover to the mix, it's only a matter of time before something hits the ground. This is Allison Pearson's brilliant comedy about failure and tragedy, dramatising the dilemma of working motherhood at the start of the twenty-first century. With its achingly sad and uproariously funny portrayal of life's challenges, this novel will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to balance work and family responsibilities. First published in 2003, 'I Don't Know How She Does It' remains a relatable and engaging read for those looking for a humorous and thought-provoking exploration of modern motherhood.
