Posted on Wednesday, November 18th, 2009 by Leah
Polly Williams‘s fourth novel, How To Be Married, was due to be released in May this year (under the title The World’s Worst Wife) but was instead delayed until 4th March 2010 due to Polly moving publishers from Sphere to Headline. We now have the rather beautiful cover which is miles better than The World’s Worst Wife cover! Here’s the synopsis for How To Be Married:
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?

Here is the beautiful cover for Dorothy Koomson’s next novel The Ice-Cream Girls. It’s due out on 18th February 2010 and I can’t wait. Here’s the synopsis:

Erin Kaye’s sixth novel, The Art of Friendship, is due to be released on 18th February 2010 and sounds quite fantastic. I love books about friendship and I adore the pale green cover. The synopsis reads:
Chloe’s Books this week: The Love Boat by Kate Lace, The Bachelor and Spinster Ball by Janet Gover, Eastern Promises by Jessica Fox (all from Little Black Dress), A Single to Rome by Sarah Duncan (Headline Review) and I Heart Hollywood by Lindsey Kelk (Harper). I also got I Remember You by Harriet Evans from the library.
16 year old Tamara Goodwin had it all - a loving set of parents, a huge house, enough money to buy whatever she wanted whenever she wanted it. But when she finds her father dead in his office and uncovers a huge load debts that he was hiding from her and her mother, Tamara’s world comes crashing down around her. She’s forced to leave her beloved home and move in with her mother’s brother Arthur and his wife Rosaleen who are a tad strange to say the least.
