As tensions build in the house, Ellen starts spending time with the hot new dad at the school gates.

Gill Sims’ funny, frank and feisty novel about a stressed-out working-mum.

Ellen is a white wine loving frantically busy woman who's got high hopes of having a perfect life, but the gulf between aspiration and reality is an ever-widening chasm of chaos. But this is the year that everything will change…for sure.

Dramatised by Christine Entwisle
