I like the sound of that, I'll get it at Tesco, thanks for the tip

I enjoyed it, also got it at cheap Tesco price.

Yes, I read it and quite liked it. Not very taxing (so I actually finshed it quite quickly despite DD!) and quite thought-provoking about how society's attitudes towards women and single mums especially has changed over time. Pretty funny too, especially the antics of the oldest character!
My copy was £6.97 from Teco - pretty good for a hardback.

I haven't read it, however it got brilliant reviews in sunday paper..... asked hubbie to get it for me altho he wouldn't cos it's only out in hardback (published march 2004) so it was too expensive. Gonna try the library!
