Since November 2009‘Not Exactly Chick Lit But…’ Mrs Fry’s Diaries
September 20th, 2010 by Leah
‘Not Exactly Chick Lit But…’ is a new feature on Chick Lit Reviews highlighting some books that are not exactly Chick Lit (hence the title) but that our Chick Lit readers will probably enjoy! Let me know if there’s a book you would suggest for my new feature!
The first book I’ve chosen to feature for ‘Not Exactly Chick Lit But…’ is the fantastic-sounding Mrs Fry’s Diary by Mrs Stephen Fry. It’s due out 15th October and it sounds hilarious. It sounds exactly like my kind of book and one I know a lot of you would probably enjoy! Here’s what it’s about:
Stephen Fry’s secret wife speaks out at last…
Enjoyed a nice cuppa this morning with a HobNob and Jeremy Kyle. There was a woman on there who’d been married 16 years without realising her husband was gay. Extraordinary! Which reminds me, it’s our 16th anniversary in a few weeks. What a coincidence.
Stephen Fry - actor, writer, raconteur and wit. Cerebral and sophisticated, a true Renaissance man.
Or is he?
Finally, his secret double life - the womanizing, the window-cleaning, the kebabs, the karaoke - is exclusively revealed by Edna, his devoted wife and mother of his five, six or possibly seven children. These diaries take us through a year in the life of an unwitting celebrity wife, and are rumoured to include:
- scandalous nocturnal shenanigans
- advice on childcare
- 101 things to do with a tin of Spam.
‘A good diary should be like a good husband - a constant companion, a source of inspiration and, ideally, bound in leather.’ - Edna Fry

Sounds like a good read!
Can’t wait to read it & have a good belly laugh (I have the belly to do it!) Pre Ordered it so hope the Postie gets it to me fast.
Love her on twitter, so I can’t wait to read the book
Sounds totally rubbish.
