My Life on a Plate

My Life on a Plate is the hilarious and moving first novel by bestselling author India Knight.

Does secretly fantasizing about buying slut shoes and see-through tops make you a Bad Mother? What about wearing pyjama bottoms on the school run?

Clare Hutt (known to herself as Jabba the) has put her foxy single days very much behind her (rather like her cellulite), and has Got Her Man.

She has a nice house, adorable children who only annoy her 90 per cent of the time, a large, eccentric and charming family, and an attractive (but increasingly mysterious) husband. And she gets to have regular sex ... well, ish. Anyway, what the hell, it’s only loins ...

Everyone wants to be married - don’t they?

Made me laugh out loud. Does for divorcees what Bridget Jones's Diary did for singletons Lynn Barber, Daily Telegraph

Brilliantly funny Vogue

A sharp, witty novel ... groundbreaking in women’s fiction in that it attempts to investigate modern marriage: what it does to women, to their sex drive and their sense of self Marie Claire

That rare thing: the lightweight comic novel that is well written, neatly constructed and actually funny Guardian

A comic tour de force Daily Telegraph
