Moving to the North from London was not my idea. My husband was infact the only one terribly keen on the move. When I asked my younger son what he thought, he confided: “Bears might eat me”. "There are no bears," I told him as I looked into the darkness and the growling started. Eventually, ofcourse, the growling ended. Somehow silence is worse (duh duh duh - I used to watch a lot of Hammer Horror movies when I was growing up. You can tell can't you?)
Just how grim can it get up north? (Actually, it's quite nice.) One woman's not-so-lonely journey into the Northern heartlands.

Hello,
I've just finished your book in french. Very good. The translation has sometimes "little mistakes" in my version but the main content is in. I enjoyed it, and much more I think because my husband is a farmer (milking cow) and i work outside.

I borrowed 'Wife' from the library to read on holiday; it looked a bit of enjoyable fluff I could read sporadically whilst a 17-month old climbed me.
I am posting here because I've rarely read anything that resonated with, or moved, me so frequently. It rings very true and was good fun too. Thank you.
I agree with the post above, the cover makes it look firmly chick-lit easy reading! But as I am reading it for the third time and crying at the same bits and laughing out loud at others I'm so thankful I ignored that cover the first day I picked it up and got stuck in. I'm even reading endless bits out to my husband who is most impressed! :) We are firm Christians and find your insights into christian types hilarious and thankfully educational. Thanx for such a great book, it always helps me as I deal with my own move and three kids! X
