Secret mothers' business - One night, eight women, no kids, no holding back (Paperback)

One evening in June 2004, a group of women friends get together at Louise's house. Natalie brings red wine, Tamara some gluten-free delight as well as her fully charged mobile (her husband still can't seem to get two children to bed without calling her at least six times). Fiona will haul out her aromatherapy kit, Lou won't arrive without bringing at least a kilo of chocolate, and Melanie will bring "Harvey", prompting much hysterical laughter and animated discussions about their sex lives (or the lack thereof). Based on intimate conversations with real women, united only by their experiences of motherhood, Secret Mothers' business breaks the unwritten, and unspoken, code of perfect mothering to expose the raw truths of parenthood. No taboo is spared in this funny, thought provoking celebration of the beauty and complexity of friendship, the ways that women support one another, and the ways they can let each other down.
