Polly Williams, author of A Good Girl Comes Undone and The Rise and Fall of a Yummy Mummy, is back with a new offering that's out next year. How to be Married will be published by Headline in March 2010. Want to know more?Domestic goddess? Yummy mummy? Having it all? It's impossible.
It's hard to be a woman. It's even harder to be a wife...
Sadie Drew thinks she must be the world's worst wife. She only needs to walk into a room to make it untidy. She wears flannel pyjamas in bed. She can't cook. Furry things live in her fridge. But she's a busy, working mother not a wifebot, and her husband Tom loves her as she is. Until he gets a new, high-pressure job and things start to change.
There are his colleagues' terrifying uber-wives to entertain. Tom works later and later. Then there are the endless rows, and the smell of another woman's perfume on his suit. Sadie has a choice: risk losing everything or transform herself into the perfect wife.
What is a perfect wife anyway?
