The day her children leave home, Eva climbs into bed and stays there. She's had enough - of her kids' carelessness, her husband's thoughtlessness and of the world's general indifference. Brian can't believe his wife is doing this. Who is going to make dinner? But Eva won't budge; and soon she realises to her horror that everyone has been taking her for granted - including herself.

Critic reviews
"Hilarious and totally Townsend. There were parts where I laughed until I cried." (Daily Mail)
"Laugh-out-loud...a teeming world of characters whose foibles and misunderstandings provide glorious amusement. Something deeper and darker than comedy." (Sunday Times)
"Full of colour and glows with life." (Independent)

I listened while I was driving, I listened while I was cooking, I listened at every possible opportunity I could because I just couldn’t get enough of this intriguingly hilarious story.
Not to mention how absolutely perfect Caroline Quentin is as a narrator!
A true WINNER, if I could rate this book 7 out of 5, I would.
Quite Wonderful!
