'If Emma Murray writes it, I want to read it. Hilarious!' Cathy
KellyBrand new from the bestselling author of Time Out and The
Juggle. When her husband David announces he's been offered a job in
New York, Saoirse is thrilled. The glamour of the big city, the
shopping, the culture, not to mention the free Manhattan apartment
and business class air fare - what's not to like? There's just the
small matter of making it work for their daughter, five-year-old
Anna, who isn't so keen to leave her friends and school behind. The
Big Apple in the middle of summer isn't quite the holiday Saoirse
envisaged, and with David away with work, New York apartment sizes
on the miniscule side, and the pace of life faster than the sleepy
London suburbs, solo ex-pat parenting pushes Saoirse to her limits.
And as the pressure builds and 'faking it till she makes it' isn't
cutting it, there's only one thing for it - Saoirse and Anna need a
new plan, and 'Winging It' might be their best option... Emma
Murray returns with this laugh-out-loud funny, compulsively
page-turning adventure about parenting, travelling, and finding
your tribe - on both sides of the pond. Praise for Emma Murray:
'With wit, brio and fabulous humour, Emma Murray again delivers a
page-turner about travel, parenthood, trying to fit in and finding
your own tribe. If Emma Murray writes it, I want to read it.
Hilarious.' Cathy Kelly 'A fabulous series full of laughter, witty
observations' Jessica Redland 'Emma Murray's writing is so deft:
rib ticklingly funny and also heartbreakingly poignant at times
that the reader is swept along with Saoirse and her cast of
supporting characters as they navigate their increasingly hectic
lives.' Fay Keenan 'Emma tells it how it is with real honesty, and
it made me laugh out loud.' Janet Hoggarth 'Witty, fun,
beautifully-written. Very highly recommended. Excited to see what
comes next from Emma Murray.' Jessica Redland Readers loved Emma's
first book Time Out: 'Compelling, Uplifting and so very relatable.
The characters are superbly written, and I really hope we get to
read more from Saoirse.' 'I really related to the Saoirse, the main
character in this book. I loved her humour, her insecurities, her
strengths, her flaws and of course most importantly how she formed
a fantastic friendship over a morning bottle of Prosecco.' 'Emma
Murray has written a 5-star 'how-to' book on being part of the
village ... 'it takes a village to raise a child' but it also takes
that village to raise up a mom!' 'A fabulous read that had me
hooked and also made me feel glad that my children were born prior
to the arrival of Facebook and social media. But a refreshing read
and one I would definitely recommend.'
