The crafty mother's guide to a quiet life backcover text:
Which are you?
PERFECT MOTHERS:
Have immaculate homes
Prepare gourmet meals for their child
Never raise their voices
Have read all the books on child development

REAL MOTHERS:
Never finish anything
Have food down their clothes
Croak with exhaustion
Read romantic novels on the quiet

In this classic battle-manual for mothers of 0-3 year olds, Libby Purves shamelessly describes how to cut the corner and bend the rules that never mattered much anyway. Full of down-to-earth tips and anecdotes, this revised edition of the international parenting bestseller takes mothers on a hillarios journey from pregnancy to pre-schoolers, covering sibling fights, fraught outings, childminders and careers along the way.
LIBBY PURVES is the author of nine bestselling novels and books, including a number of childcare and family life. She presents MIDWEEK on Radio 4 and is a columnist for THE TIMES. With her husband Paul Heiney, she seems to have raised two children to student age with reasonable success.
