‘Blacklock (author of Call Waiting) has written a humorous, fast-paced, witty read. She tackles a subject matter that would be highly recognisable by women who themselves are wives. Difficult questions are raised and the narrative is sprinkled with amusing overtones and likeable characters.’
AUSTRALIAN BOOKSELLER & PUBLISHER

‘Great characters abound, including Sam’s sisters, her delightful and naturally normal kids and an interesting man from America who wants to learn about Australia. And who better to teach him?’
