Description

No.1 bestselling author Gill Sims is back with her eagerly awaited sixthΒ Why MummyΒ novel.

When family life gives you lemons, trade them for grapes!

Mummy Ellen has a Vision. She will cherish every moment this holiday with her Moppets Peter and Jane, alongside her ride-or-die best pal, Hannah. There will be wicker baskets! Vintage bicycles! Pink sunshine wine! And not an electronic babysitter in sight.

But as she strives for her picture-perfect β€œUltimate Family Summer” in her not-quite-a-chateau, reality crashes the party. With small feral hell-beasts to keep alive on the daily, and Hannah suddenly MIA, wine o’clock gets earlier by the day.

Can Ellen keep The Vision alive without resorting to nightly beige β€˜freezer tapas’ (aka guilt-flavoured chicken nuggets)? Or will she reach the end of her Gentle Parenting book – and her tether – as her dream holiday descends into a nightmare?

Join Ellen on her uproarious quest to salvage one of the #18PreciousSummers, or simply find her Grape Escape.

About the Author

Gill Sims is the author of the hugely successful parenting blog and Facebook site β€˜Peter and Jane’. Her first book Why Mummy Drinks was the bestselling hardback fiction debut of 2017, spending over six months in the top ten of the Sunday Times bestsellers chart, and was shortlisted for Debut Novel of the Year in the British Book Awards. Her globally bestselling Why Mummy… series has now sold over a million copies.

She lives in Scotland with her husband, two children and two Border terriers, because apparently one terrier didn’t cause her enough trouble.

Gill’s interests include drinking wine, wasting time on social media, trying and failing to capture her lost youth, and looking for one of the dogs when he decides to go on one of his regular jaunts, while trying to stop the other one eating unspeakable things.
