Sie ist Mitte dreißig und die einzige weibliche Führungskraft einer Londoner Investmentfirma. Außerdem ist Kate die Mutter von Emily (6) und Ben (1). Trotz verständnisvollem Ehemann und perfekter Organisation schrammt sie chronisch am Rand der Katastrophe entlang. Verspätete Flugzeuge oder verschwundene Kuscheltiere sind Zeitbomben.

C'est un régal pour les lecteurs ayant grandi avec "Bridget Jones" de retrouver le personnage de Kate Reddy, quinze ans après l'énorme succès de "Je ne sais pas comment elle fait". Kate Reddy compte les quelques semaines qui la séparent de la cinquantaine avec effroi. Si on ajoute à cette angoisse les hormones qui s'agitent, des ados qui ont besoin d'elle mais qui ne lui adressent pas la parole, des parents qui vieillissent et redeviennent des enfants, un mari qui se cherche et a décidé de s'offrir un break pour se consacrer à la méditation.

For every woman trying to strike that impossible balance between work and home - and pretending that she has - and for every woman who has wanted to hurl the acquaintance who coos admiringly, "Honestly, I just don't know how you do it," out a window, here's a novel to make you cringe with recognition and laugh out loud. With fierce, unsentimental irony, Pearson's novel brilliantly dramatizes the dilemma of working motherhood at the start of the 21st century. Meet Kate Reddy, hedge-fund manager and mother of two.

Kate Reddy is back! This is the follow-up to the international best seller I Don't Know How She Does It, the novel that defined modern life for women everywhere. This time she's juggling teenagers, aging parents and getting back into the workplace, and every minute will have you laughing and thinking: it's not just me. Kate Reddy is counting down the days until she is 50, but not in a good way. Fifty, in Kate's mind, equals invisibility.

The surprise hit of the year, Allison Pearson's debut novel is garnering critical and fan raves.
