Outside the school gates of Farquhars school, the gossip hums, the SUVs swarm and Boden abounds. But, here, three women are about to discover that friends are the only accessories they will need. Working mum Alison is devoted to her daughter, but since juggling motherhood with a career has left her with a permanent headache, a larger family is the only thing not on her to-do list. Trophy wife Katherine seems rich, glamorous and care-free. In fact, her husband only ever touches her as he guides her into social functions, and her kids barely know she exists either. Stay-at-home mum Gwen has three lovely kids and a blissful marriage to Rob. It seems like she has it all—until two bombshells cause her perfect world to crumble. A deliciously warm, funny and moving take on being a mum, making new friends and dealing with the posturing and politics of the playground—something we never really leave behind … Fans of Cathy Kelly and Allison Pearson will love this warm, funny story of three very different mums who form an unlikely friendship. Universal themes of friendship and motherhood resonate throughout this sparkling novel. A brilliant debut, oozing with humour, warmth and honesty. The perfect gift for mothers (and daughters) everywhere.
