'Clever, wise and achingly funny.' Cathy Kelly 'You can have it
all,' they said. 'Happy children, happy marriage, great career - no
problem,' they said... For fans of Motherland! Mother-of-one
Saoirse is just about holding it all together - combining part time
work with the school run, while her husband David gets to focus on
his career. But when David loses his job, everything has to change.
With no hesitation, Saoirse suggests she takes on the role of main
breadwinner. After all, how hard can it be? And when a new client
offers her a life-changing sum of money, Saoirse can look the other
over-achieving Woodvale school-run mums in the eye with pride. But
there's a problem with keeping too many balls in the air -
eventually one is bound to drop. And when that happens - well, who
knows what the consequences could be... Laugh-out-loud funny,
achingly relatable, but with a heart of gold, and warmth running
through every page. This is the perfect read for anyone who has way
too many balls in the air! The novel may or may not have been
inspired by real life... Praise for Emma Murray: 'If you've ever
despaired of the school WhatsApp group, torn your hair out over
what to cook for the kids' dinner, again, and wonder why your
beloved still believes in the Laundry Fairy, The Juggle is for you.
Emma Murray's clever, wise and achingly funny novel about life as a
modern mum will make you grin with recognition - and not feel
alone. It's not just you, then! There are lots of novels about
Having It All but The Juggle combines wisdom, humour and utter
warmth as Emma Murray's central character, Saoirse, does her best
to keep all the balls in the air.... And guess what, she drops
some.' Cathy Kelly '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. I
finished The Juggle immediately wanting more.' 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.'
