'Brilliantly witty and marvellously observed...' Cathy Kelly 'It's
just a phase,' they said. 'These are the happiest years of your
life,' they said... Mother of one and professional writer Saoirse
(pronounced Seersha, not Searcy - thanks a bunch Game of Thrones!)
is still adjusting to the demands of motherhood, four years after
the birth of her daughter, Anna. Living in the claustrophobic
London suburb of Woodvale, and being surrounded by
passive-aggressive mum-wars, isn't helping. Neither is her
increasingly pent-up anger at her once-perfect husband. Her only
comrade in arms, best friend Bea, is the one thing keeping her
sane. When Saoirse's agent asks her to pitch for a book, she is
horrified to discover the topic is motherhood. How can she possibly
write a 'warts and all' account of being a mother without giving
away what it's really like? Laugh-out-loud funny, painfully
well-observed, but with an unmistakable warmth and unforgettable
characters, this is the perfect read for anyone who desperately
needs a break! The novel may or may not have been inspired by real
life... For fans of Motherland! Praise for Emma Murray: 'Emma
Murray's Time Out is a brilliantly witty and marvellously observed
novel about young motherhood when there's always someone ready to
tell you that you're doing it all wrong.' Cathy Kelly '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 What readers are saying about Time Out: 'Time Out
was exactly what I needed right now, it's Hilarious, Witty,
Brilliantly Written, Authentic, Compelling, Uplifting and so very
relatable.The characters are superbly written, and I really hope we
get to read more from Saoirse.' 'This book is a reminder of the
importance of a support system: old friends, new friends, parents,
and sometimes even a kind word from a stranger.' '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.'
