'A funny and touching insight into music, autism and motherhood' Dawn French 'A truthful book that dives headfirst into the realities of motherhood that will make you laugh out loud and touch your heart in equal measure' Izzy Judd ________________________________ Your family doesn't fit the mould. So what? Since giving birth to her second child, Lucy's life is totally unrecognisable: the romance in her marriage is officially dead and so is the career it took her years to build. Instead of playing the cello behind superstars at packed-out arenas, Lucy now spends most days mopping up broccoli vomit whilst listening to her four-year-old recite facts about the gallbladder. Something needs to change. With a little help from her friends, Lucy comes up with a plan to get her life on track, claw back her career and help her extraordinary son to find his place in an ordinary world.

Easiest letter so far. Quite a few of my favorite favorites start with M.

AmyG My favorite Metallica song ❤️ 1y
RaeLovesToRead Quite a few of my faves start with M, but I don't think we'll have much overlap... 1y
The_Penniless_Author @RaeLovesToRead You mean because I like stuff that rules, and you...have your own, unique tastes? 😉 1y

RaeLovesToRead MIDSOMER MURDERS IS AMAZING!!!! I even have my own Midsomer Murders tee towel that my sister won for writing the best MM themed Haiku... 1y
RaeLovesToRead Philistine 1y
CBee @RaeLovesToRead @The_Penniless_Author Happy Halloween, my sillies 😂😂😂 1y
The_Penniless_Author @RaeLovesToRead I need to watch that show. It's on PBS constantly. Anyway, what was the haiku? Let's hear it. 1y
RaeLovesToRead It was ages ago, I don't remember the whole thing! (Another something, Another village event, Just stay at home, Joyce!) Watch old school John Nettles MM. It'll give you a good idea of what English country life was like. Except fewer murders 🤔 1y
RaeLovesToRead @CBee Happy Halloween!!! 🥰 1y
The_Penniless_Author Thanks, @CBee , you too! 👻🎃👾👽☠️ 1y
The_Penniless_Author @RaeLovesToRead Hey, that's pretty good! 😆 1y
RaeLovesToRead Well, it did win a tea towel 😉 1y
Cazxxx Great song choice 👍🏻 1y
The_Penniless_Author @RaeLovesToRead Do you (or your sister) still use it? 1y
The_Penniless_Author @Cazxxx It makes me want to run through a brick walk (in a good way) 😂 1y
Cazxxx @The_Penniless_Author 😂😂 1y
CBee @The_Penniless_Author but in a “good way” 😂😂😂😂 1y
CBee @RaeLovesToRead my opinion is you can never gave too many tea towels 😊 1y
The_Penniless_Author @CBee However, if you could have too many tea towels, @RaeLovesToRead would find a way 😉 1y
RaeLovesToRead The tea towel has never been used! It is a very special item to me 😊🥰 1y
CBee @The_Penniless_Author honestly I don‘t even think I have any tea towels so I should probably just hush 😂😂😂 @RaeLovesToRead 1y
The_Penniless_Author @CBee I had to confirm first that "tea towel" is what we call a "dish towel" before I could say that yes, we have a few ? 1y
CBee @The_Penniless_Author OH! Well I have plenty of those then 😂😂😂 1y

M is for Mummy: 'A funny and touching insight into music, autism and motherhood' Dawn French | Katy Cox
Pickpick

Lucy is struggling, her life is now vastly different to what it used to be.
Pre marriage and children she had choices, was able to travel, she was able to pursue her career as a cellist.
She was HER, now she has little for herself as each day she just caves to the demands of family pressure.
She is a woman on the edge, her marriage is in meltdown, her career is in tatters and she secretly suspects that her eldest son is autistic.

I enjoyed reading this book because it was sad and funny at the same time. It tells how a mother, Lucy, feels like she is losing control . She has two very young children, one of them is showing some very difficult behaviour that Lucy is growing more and more worried about. Her husband works in showbiz and he is not always there to help . It made me want to laugh and cry together.
