Time Out

Mother of one and professional writer Saoirse (pronounced Seersha not Searcy - thanks a bunch Game of Thrones!) is still adjusting to the demands of motherhood four years after the birth of her daughter Anna.Living in the claustrophobic London suburb of Woodvale and being surrounded by passive-aggressive mum-wars isn’t helping. Neither is her increasingly pent-up anger at her once-perfect husband. Her only comrade in arms best friend Bea is the one thing keeping her sane.When Saoirse’s agent asks her to pitch for a book she is horrified to discover the topic is motherhood. How can she possibly write a ‘warts and all’ account of being a mother without giving away what it’s really like?
