Meet Kate Reddy, fund manager and mother of two. She can juggle nine different currencies in five different time zones and get herself and two children washed and dressed and out of the house in half an hour. A victim of time famine, Kate counts seconds like other women count calories. As she hurtles between appointments, through her head spools the crazy tape-loop of the working mother's life: must remember client reports, bouncy castles, transatlantic phone call, nativity play, check Dow Jones, cancel hygienist, squeeze sagging pelvic floor, make time for sex. Factor in a manipulative nanny, an Australian boss who looks at Kate's breasts as if they're on special offer, a long suffering husband, her quietly aghast in-laws, two needy children and an e-mail lover, and you have a woman juggling so many balls that some day soon something's going to hit the ground. In an uproariously funny and achingly sad novel, Allison Pearson captures the guilty secret lives of working mothers, the self-recriminations, comic deceptions, forgeries, giddy exhaustion and despair as no other writer has ever done. With fierce irony and a sparkling style, she brilliantly dramatises the dilemma of working motherhood at the start of the 21st century.

那天正想著找些女權小說來看看就碰到了這本書。寫得如此深刻生動（大贊每章must do list看得出女主desperately busyT T）作者肯定是working mum。拿著這本書去上了兩次視聽說課，正好說的也是sex discrimination，更深印象。前兩百頁還是很吸引人看，後面老調重彈，Kate各種迷失在家庭與工作之中，結果後來高潮爆發Rich離家出走也沒有預期的效果。倒是有兩個點很感人很喜歡，一是Elizabeth留給丈夫的note，二是Kate去找媽媽跟妹妹的時候。女性在工作與家庭之間的平衡是個人選擇，與價值取向有關，與性格有關，並且我們做決定時就應擺脫社會上對於“女人應該相夫教子“的偏見，無謂妄自菲薄，允許別人甚至自己額外加在自己身上的雙重標準。What else?
