Utterly, Utterly Perfect and Brilliant

I believe it to be, quite simply, a new classic, and the book every woman will be able to trust to make her happy whenever she picks it up. - Caitlin Moran

Utterly wonderful ... full of love. Enormously uplifting, funny, witty, and wry. - Marian Keyes

A glorious, outrageously funny retelling of E.M. Delafield's Diary of a Provincial Lady. At once, a celebration of the joy of family life and a cry of anguish at the utter hell of it. Laugh out loud, compulsive reading. - Nina Stibbe

Meet Liz: all she wants is some peace and quiet so she can read a book with her cat Henry, the love of her life, by her side. But trampling all over this dream is a group of wild things, also known as Liz's family. Namely:

Richard - a man, a husband, no serious rival to Henry.

Thomas - their sensitive seven-year-old son, for whom life is a bed of pain already.

Evie - five-year-old acrobat, gangster, anarchist, daughter.

And as if Liz's family's demands (Where are the door keys? Are we made of plastic? Do ghost poos really count?) weren't enough, Liz must also contend with the madness of parents, friends, bosses, and at least one hovering nemesis. Are We Having Fun Yet? is a year with one woman as she faces all the storms of modern life (babysitters, death, threadworms) on her epic quest for that holy grail: a moment to herself.
