Polly Williams’ fourth novel which was supposed to be released in May under the title The World’s Worst Wife has now been postponed until the 4th March 2010 and will instead be released under the title How To Be Married. The synopsis reads:

Domestic goddess? Yummy mummy? Having it all? It’s impossible. It’s hard to be a woman. It’s even harder to be a wife…

Sadie Drew thinks she must be the world’s worst wife. She only needs to walk into a room to make it untidy. She wears flannel pyjamas in bed. She can’t cook. Furry things live in her fridge. But she’s a busy, working mother not a wifebot, and her husband Tom loves her as she is. Until he gets a new, high-pressure job and things start to change.

There are his colleagues’ terrifying uber-wives to entertain. Tom works later and later. Then there are the endless rows, and the smell of another woman’s perfume on his suit. Sadie has a choice: risk losing everything or transform herself into the perfect wife.

What is a perfect wife anyway?
