Summary
Amy has recently given birth to her first child, Evie, but, while utterly besotted with her daughter, she can't quite manage to get her own life back on track. She feels overweight, unattractive, and incapable of holding a conversation beyond the lines of breast pumps and feeding times. She wants her figure, her sassiness, her LIFE back. And on top of that, she suspects her partner, Joe, is having an affair. Then her friend Alice decides to give her a makeover. A few weeks later and Amy finds a far more yummy mummy looking back at her in the mirror. But as her confidence grows, her life becomes increasingly complicated.
2007, Melissa Nathan, Short-listed
Critic reviews
"Deliciously well-written tale...Sparkling and seductive." (Good Housekeeping)
"Written with the lightest of touches and serious intent. A funny, smart, and honest account of modern motherhood." (In Style)
"As baby-sick lit takes over from chick lit as publishing's latest craze, the genre may well have found its Bridget Jones in Amy, the 31-year-old hero of journalist Polly Williams' debut." (Marie Claire)
