About this listen
Why Mummy Drinks is the brilliant novel from Gill Sims, the author of the online sensation Peter and Jane.
It is Mummy's 39th birthday. She is staring down the barrel of a future of people asking if she wants to come to their advanced yoga classes and polite book clubs where everyone claims to be tiddly after a glass of Pinot Grigio and says things like 'oooh gosh, are you having another glass?'
But Mummy does not want to go quietly into that good night of women with sensible haircuts who 'live for their children' and stand in the playground trying to trump each other with their offsprings' extracurricular activities and achievements and boasting about their latest holidays.
Instead, she clutches a large glass of wine, muttering 'FML' over and over again. Until she remembers the gem of an idea she's had....

More fun than I expected.
Took a few minutes to get I to this book but then I came invested in the story. I'm not a mum but the book seems to reflect lots of things I hear mother say. Worth a listen!

Oh so very true...and very funny
I loved Why Mummy Drinks. Mums and non-Mums alike will identify with the main character Ellen who is very typical of 21st century middle class women: trying to be all things to all people (kids, partners, friends, family, work), doing an amazing job, but always feeling like they are failing in some way. Sims taps into this in an amusing laugh-out-loud way, leaving you feeling like it's totally okay to feel the way you do - because everyone seems to go through it at some stage.
Great performance by Gabrielle Glaister, who brings her comedic acting chops to the reading.
