Wife in the North

Wife in the NorthHow far would a mother go to achieve perfection? In Judith O'Reilly's comedic work "Wife in the North," inspired by her well-loved blog, one woman embarks on a journey from bustling London to the serene countryside of Northumberland with her family. It's questionable if her decision was hormonally influenced — otherwise, how did her husband convince her to abandon her London career for life in the North with two small children? As she awaits her third child, Judith uncovers unexpected truths about rural life: finding friends among doomsday believers, the peril of running out of petrol, and realizing a redhead is the most diverse person around.Amidst these challenges, Judith strives to craft a peaceful, happy family life, hoping for their fairy tale ending, even in the north.Praised for its humor and sincerity by Jane Fallon, author of "Getting Rid of Matthew," and described as "Cold Comfort Farm with booster seats" by Stephanie Calman, the book offers honest, moving, and laugh-out-loud moments. Jenny Colgan recalls laughter and tears of recognition, and Lisa Jewell appreciates its wit and poignant writing.Judith O'Reilly, a journalist and a mother of three, moved from London to Northumberland with her family in August 2005. She began her blog "wifeinthenorth" in November 2006, capturing the hearts of readers with her sharp and entertaining stories of rural living. Her subsequent book, "A Year of Doing Good," was published by Penguin.Okładka: Paperback Liczba stron: 304 Autor: O'Reilly, Judith
