Gloria Gold has devoted her entire life to cooking and cleaning for her family - and are they grateful? Not a bit! What does a 56-year-old Jewish housewife from North London do when she's so obviously unappreciated? Gloria decides to spend a little less time worrying about her husband Morry's reading habits, so Robert's lack of interest in girls, and daughter Sharon's reluctance to settle down and produce grandchildren. Instead she will write her autobiography - so that her selfish family can learn just how much they have taken her for granted. For once the housework will have to take care of itself! Autobiography proves to be a more complicated art than Gloria anticipates - especially when she accepts the help of Christian Foggart, the handsome teacher of her evening class in creative writing... Somehow the past eludes Gloris's grasp and the present intrudes on her writing in an ever more alarming and romantic way. Original, endearing and hilariously funny, this warm-hearted novel is a manifesto for discontented housewives everywhere. Gloria Gold takes us with her on an exhilarating voyage of self-discovery that leads to unexpected love.
