What happens when a duvet day turns into a duvet year? Sue
Townsend, the bestselling author of the Adrian Mole series, returns
with The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year, a funny and touching
novel about what happens when someone stops being the person
everyone wants them to be. The day her twins leave home, Eva climbs
into bed and stays there. For seventeen years she's wanted to yell
at the world, 'Stop! I want to get off'. Finally, this is her
chance. Her husband Brian, an astronomer having an unsatisfactory
affair, is upset. Who will cook his dinner? Eva, he complains, is
attention seeking. But word of Eva's defiance spreads. Legions of
fans, believing she is protesting, gather in the street. While
Alexander the white van man brings tea, toast and sympathy. And
from this odd but comforting place Eva begins to see both herself
and the world very, very differently. . . Bestselling author Sue
Townsend has been Britain's favourite comic writer for over three
decades, The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year is her hilarious new
novel. 'Laugh-out-loud . . . a teeming world of characters whose
foibles and misunderstandings provide glorious amusement. Something
deeper and darker than comedy' Sunday Times 'She fills the pages
with turmoil, anger, passion, love and big helpings of wit. It's
full of colour and glows with life' Independent 'Hilarious and
totally Townsend. There were parts where I laughed until I cried'
Daily Mail 'Touching and hilarious. Bursting with witty social
commentary as well as humour' Women's Weekly 'A funny, poignant
look at modern family life' Daily Express
