Product Description

Product Description
It's early 2008 and the credit crunch is starting to bite. Sam and Laura Diamond - and their friends - are circling forty and all feeling a lot less certain about life than when they first met in their twenties. Laura wants to work part-time and have a third child - an appalling prospect for her husband Sam, whose secret ambition is to give up his job as a struggling scriptwriter and have a vasectomy. Life's no more straightforward for wild child turned corporate lawyer Janey Dart. Having finally given up on Patrick, the love of her life, she finds herself unexpectedly pregnant and hastily married to a wealthy hedge fund manager who loathes her friends. And Sam's oldest friend, trendy restaurant owner Jonathan Sleet, is about to hit the big time with a TV series and cookbook, but can't control his roving eye. So it's no surprise that back on their organic farm in Suffolk, his once glamorous wife Hannah is finding distractions of her own. Determined to reunite the group, Jonathan brings everyone together for a holiday to celebrate his fortieth birthday. But six friends, two decades of tangled fortunes and an explosive secret from the past make for an unforgettable week. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars Oh dear...., 6 Jul 2009
By Damocles (London, UK) - See all my reviews
I was so looking forward to this book. I loved Slummy Mummy but this one didn't do it for me. Too predictable, I fear. I did sort of recognise the characters but they were so thinly drawn, I just gave up on them. Not great I am afraid.

(REAL NAME)   
I don't know why we haven't seen more of this book around the place because it is a better book than Slummy Mummy. Rich characters echoing people from your own life (I bet you) take the story forward at turns hilarious, chaotic, vivid. The sexiness of the photograph around which the story ultimately revolves is fabulous, prompting a contemplation of the guilt-free wildness of 20-somethings and how this gives way to the 40-something daily grind of responsibility, mortality and flawed family life. Not escapism, but really funny, wonderful reading!
