'There is a lot for women to relate to here' -- Katie Fforde Praise for THE SCHOOL RUN 'A lovely debut - warm and engaging' -- Catherine Alliott
Product Description
Calling all mums! What would you do if your husband had a fling? Have you ever had to keep a terrible secret from your kids? Do you sometimes wish you had a life outside being a mum? Are you pregnant and alone? Caroline, Mark, Susan and Lisa are as different as the parenting problems they face and each has their own reasons for logging on to the Mums@Home website for the very first time. At first they are cynical about the site - how can faceless people possibly help or understand what they are going through? But as the weeks pass and their family problems escalate, each of them begins to realise that Mums@Home has become a lifeline - somewhere to go for advice, to be heard, to escape, or to belong...Sophie King captures the zeitgeist once again with this warm, moving and engaging look at modern parenting and finding friends.

If nothing else it made me realise I'm a very happy mum@home, Aug 15 2006
By Helen Simpson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mums@Home (Paperback)
If you like the kind of fictional short stories that are usually found in women's magazines then you'll like this. Similar style, but I thought slightly better than Alexander McCall Smith's novels.Basically it's about ordinary people with ordinary lives and whose characters I found a bit depressing as they all seemed so unhappy with their lot. I prefer books that delve a bit deeper into people and give me more of an emotional rollercoaster ride, food for thought or a more exciting plot. With this you could see where it was going all along. There were a couple of surprises but not on any major level.
