Overview
Meet Ellen, the exhausted, wine-loving heroine of Gill Sims' hugely popular Why Mummy novels, in this four-book paperback collection. Growing out of her viral Peter and Jane blog, Sims turns the chaos of marriage, motherhood and middle age into laugh-out-loud fiction. From toddler tantrums to teenage eye-rolls, these instalments track Ellen's family through the highs and lows, glass of Pinot Grigio in hand. A brilliant gift for any parent needing to laugh at family life.
About the Books
This collection gathers the first four novels in Gill Sims' bestselling Why Mummy series. In Why Mummy Drinks, Ellen turns 39 and finds herself drowning in polite book clubs, advanced yoga invitations and the daily grind of raising Peter and Jane while Simon, her husband, remains blissfully unaware. Why Mummy Swears continues the saga as the children grow more demanding, Simon's business trips grow more frequent, and only faithful dog Judgy offers any real loyalty. In Why Mummy Doesn't Give a ****!, the family swaps suburbia for a "quaint" country cottage, and rural life brings its own pandemonium, from escaped livestock to teenagers glued to their phones. Finally, Why Mummy's Sloshed finds Ellen reflecting on years of marriage and motherhood and the small daily disasters that never stop. Together, the four books offer a warm, wickedly funny chronicle of family life, told through Ellen's diary-style voice that made the original blog so popular. Fans of domestic satire will find plenty to enjoy here.
