Motherland

Product Information

Imagine writing a book so rude and sweary that you were too embarrassed to let your parents read it? I didn't think it would be do-able, but my American publisher (Voice) pushed for it and they were so right!

However, with The Zone about to become the focus of a Channel Four reality show, the pressure is on. If I had written a beautiful, selfless, supremely intelligent heroine, would the same women have seen themselves in the book then?Filled with acute, often bitingly funny observations about motherhood, friendship, and the claustrophobia of suburbia, this pitch-perfect novel will resonate with any woman who has ever been stricken with self-doubt. Un beau mari, deux charmants enfants, une maison de rêve, dans un quartier chic de Londres : Fran a tout pour être heureuse. I needed to have a pseudonym because Maria Beaumont had Motherland being published at the same as Rubbish Boyfriends and I wasn't allowed to have two books out at the same time.

Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab . Fran’s relationship with her husband suffers from what sadly happens far too often after children are born. But when Fran realizes she has failed her children one too many times, and begins to suspect her husband is having an affair, she knows she has hit rock bottom.Conversation aside, life in upper-middle class London isn’t all that much different than it is here in the United States. About the Author Maria Beaumont is twenty-one, or twenty-eight, or sometimes thirty-eight — it depends on how good the lighting is. On the eve of her thirty-seventh birthday, Fran Clark finds herself in a role she would never have envisioned: that of a surprisingly desperate housewife.
