  • "Een jonge moeder is gek op haar kinderen, maar heeft toch het gevoel dat er meer in het leven moet zijn."
  • "Sie kam, sah und siegte: Fran hat ein einzigartiges Talent, Stimmen zu imitieren. Als Synchronsprecherin machte sie Karriere und fand die grosse Liebe. Jetzt imitiert sie Stimmen zur Freude ihrer beiden Kinder nur was sie selbst bewegt, hat sie verlernt zu sagen. Und es kommt noch schlimmer: Fran entdeckt, dass ihr Gatte eine Affäre mit der Marketingleiterin von Gucci hat. Wenn sie nicht zukünftig als Desperate Housewife Karriere machen möchte, sollte sie vielleicht häufiger ihrem Mann tief in die Augen schauen als den Boden ihres Weinglases zu betrachten. Point of no return? Mitnichten. Nach ein paar Umdrehungen zu viel schafft es Fran, ihr Leben in den Griff zu kriegen und die Konkurrenz liebevoll in die Tasche zu stecken."
  • ""Stay-at-home mum Fran Clarke is approaching both her thirty-seventh birthday and crisis point. Once a brilliant voiceover artist, she now hasn't worked for years. The talent hasn't deserted her - only her self-belief. She could have it all, if she could only see it. But with her confidence shot and a husband who no longer knows how to help her, most days all she sees is the bottom of a wine glass. Fran knows she has to stop the downward spiral before she self-destructs completely. But she hits rock bottom when she realises she can't even solve the problems of her own two children. And if she thinks she's a hopeless flake, imagine what the other school-run mums think of her. Ultimately it is her two best friends she must thank for her salvation. Not because they are there for her, but because she learns to be there for them. Being a mum can be hysterically funny. But it can also be heartbreakingly cruel." -- BOOK JACKET."
  • "On the eve of her 37th birthday, former voiceover artist Fran Clark finds herself in a role she could never have envisioned --that of a surprisingly desperate housewife, who -- despite, or because of, her ad exec husband and two children -- finds herself suffocating in her own life. She's far too cynical to take suburban life too seriously (as she says, "If it weren't for the Happy Meal, several thousand women would have murdered their children: Happy meals save lives."), yet she can't seem to stop herself from entering a panicky spiral downward, depressed and drinking too much, until she hits rock bottom. It will take both her children and her two best friends counting on her more than they'd ever anticipated for her to find the inner strength to rebuild her life. Fran's a completely flawed yet completely lovable personality, filled with wit and charm, narrates this intimate, self-deprecating tale -- one that will resonate with any woman who has ever been stricken with self-doubt."@en
  • "A Londres, de nos jours. Fran a tout pour être heureuse : Richard, un mari aimant, deux enfants charmants Thomas et Molly, un bel appartement et deux amies sympas. Mais Fran ne va pas bien. Depuis la naissance de ses enfants, elle a arrêté de travailler et voit arriver son trente-septième anniversaire avec angoisse. Alors, pour se donner du courage, elle prend un verre de vin, trop souvent."
