The day her children leave home, Eva climbs into bed and stays there. She's had enough - of her kids' carelessness, her husband's thoughtlessness and of the world's general indifference. Eva's refusal to behave like a dutiful wife and mother soon upsets everyone but she insists on staying in bed. And then the strangest things start to happen. A funny and touching novel from Britain's funniest writer for over 30 years.

Omgg i dont know why so much hate over this book , i mean its soo atmospheric cozy read i didnt feel like forcing myself to read this one .. because its soo good i didnt even knew i finished it , its about eva and her daily routine i personally really enjoyed this book so far ♡ such a lovely work.
Take this book for what it is—a dark satire—and go with the book's main premise—being a mom and a wife is an exhausting, thankless job—and you will have one fun ride of a book. If you don't fall in the book's targeted demographics, if you are not, say, a tired mother or a weary stay-at-home wife, you may put the book down in exasperation. Though if you are, say, child of a tired mother or, say, husband of a weary stay-at-home wife, know that this book may lead to a full-fledged household rebellion and insurrection if it is accidentally picked up by the wrong person. You have been warned.
