I liked Lucy, the main protagonist (and narrator). I would like to have seen more of her delightful children, and I appreciated the family background. I felt some nostalgia for the school playground gatherings of mothers, and could relate, somewhat, to the different styles of parenting (albeit somewhat caricatured in the book). I liked the ending, too. However, the main protagonist has some irritating and promiscuous single friends who have far too big a part to play in the story, and who are not memorable or even distinguishable. Perhaps their excesses were supposed to be humorous - I hope they were not realistic! - but they just left me with a bad taste. The continual strong expletives were unnecessary too, and rather spoiled the otherwise excellent writing. Full review here: https://suesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2019/05/the-secret-life-of-slummy-mummy-by.... Gave up before p 50 - couldn't sympathize, much less empathize - not only shouldn't she have married her husband in the first place*, but she shouldn't have kids - she doesn't act like a grown-up. What she should do most of all is raise her kids to be more responsible - they should be helping with chores not expecting her servitude. And yes she should be able to recognize that one woman telling another a bunch of shoulds" sometimes is quite apt. *Yes I know I've barely met Tom. Maybe she's just whining about his "flaws" (differences?) in the beginning and by the end she'll have learned her lesson and realized he's wonderful. If so, then she should've appreciated him all along. And if she's a slow learner, and will mature and become more likable over the course of the book, I want some clue to that effect now, so I don't get to the end and find I still can't stand her. Gee - quite a review for something I barely dipped into. Of course, others' reviews helped me decide to give up on it, and helped me see where it was going." ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Hjemmegående Lucy med tre børn og succesrig, meget ordentlig arkitektmand. Prøver forgæves at leve op til toptjekkede mødre i forældrekredsen. Optræder tit ufrivilligt i komiske situationer. Smålun på en sexet hjemmefar. Finder lykkeligt hjemsted i kaotisk verden. No library descriptions found. |
