Synopsis
An Adrian Mole for the Hormonally Challenged Mum
Addled mother-of-three – no name given – finds her identity has been buried under layers of clutter in her unkempt home, and the unrelenting demands of children. When she admits to no longer being able to cope, her very own ‘listening angel’ enters her life in the guise of Prentiss Prine, a supposed good Samaritan from the local charity set up to give support to those in need of a friend.
So why can’t she get a word in edgeways, as Prentiss regales her with tales from her exotic life? And why is her husband’s mood suddenly so elevated – especially when a certain angel is hovering nearby?
Thus unfolds a dark and hilarious journey into the wilds of suburbia, where unforgettable characters dwell – such as ‘Shouting Barbara’, and Trevor, the family-values spouting local politician with a secret life – and the unexpected is never far away.
Told through diary-style musings, Notes for the Next Time explores the murky depths beneath the smooth surface of life in a hilarious, surprising and genuinely moving read.
And what looks to be the final nail in the coffin of our mum-on-the-edge’s ebbing sanity may actually provide the much-needed catalyst for change.

'Eirin's unique style blends black humour with pithy, diary-style musings on the suburban life of a late-thirties mother of three. Poignant, dark, genuinely moving and very funny.' * Ciara Considine, editor *

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
