Are We Having Fun Yet?

De: Lucy Mangan

Narrado por: Lucy Mangan

Meet Liz: all she wants is some peace and quiet so she can read a book with her cat Henry, 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 her 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 in the life of 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Utterly, utterly perfect and brilliant - I think it is, simply, a new classic, and the book every woman will be able to trust to make her happy when she picks it up." (Caitlin Moran)

"Utterly wonderful...full of love. Enormously uplifting, funny and 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)

Lucy Mangan shld be prime minister of the world... or the queen

I want to be Lucy Mangan when I grow up. Astute, witty and normal, whatever that definition might be.
