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.

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.

Kate Reddy are tot ce-şi doreşte o femeie împlinită: casă de vis (sau pe-aproape), doi copii iubitori şi un soţ ca nimeni altul. Copiii au crescut şi au devenit adolescenţi (a se citi "nişte monştri"), Richard, soţul ideal, şi-a dat demisia, îşi pierde vremea pe velodrom, bea tot felul de sucuri sănătoase, se-mbracă din cap pînă-n picioare în lycra şi cheltuie banii familiei pe şedinţe de consiliere. Şi cum Richard, în drumul lui spre înţelepciune, nu mai are salariu, Kate trebuie să se întoarcă la muncă.

The new novel from the best-selling author of I Don’t Know How She Does It takes us on an unforgettable journey into first love, and—with the emotional intensity and penetrating wit that have made her beloved among readers all over the world—reminds us of how the ardor of our youth can ignite our adult lives.

The surprise hit of the year, Allison Pearson's debut novel is garnering critical and fan raves. Publishers Weekly calls I Don't Know How She Does It "delightfully fast moving...with dozens of laugh-aloud moments and many tenderly touching ones," and Booklist applauds this "compelling manifesto on the plight of working mothers that manages to be both angry and funny."
