About this deal

The author did an excellent job of describing how difficult life can be as a mother to an autistic child and she did it with good humour and a lot of patience. I expect most readers will have an understanding of the autism spectrum given how many families it affects, so what Lucy faces is unlikely to surprise or enlighten many, but I expect it to be deeply reassuring for those who recognise their own family life reflected in the Wright’s struggles. A brilliant portrayal of a child with autism, the struggle to obtain a diagnosis and the judgy mum club. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.

Lucy had it all: an exciting career, a rock-star husband, and pelvic floor muscles that could crack a walnut.Chapters like ‘Compare and Despair’ will resound with everyone who uses social media and the opening scene as Lucy’s waters break is hilarious and really sets the tone for the rest of the book. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. There was a lot of irresponsible heavy drinking, the after-effects of which often happened in front of the kids, like a pile of blue vomit on the rug.

Without the blurb about the author at the back of the novel saying she is the mother of two autistic sons you can tell that she is either a mother to a spectrum child or knew someone close with it.There are many heart warming scenes where the bond between Lucy and Stanley brings a tear to your eye. For example, the attempt to squeeze yourself into clean clothes that may still fit has gathered dust in the back wardrobe that has yet to see the light of day in over a year. He’s fiercely intelligent, very particular about routines and the way he likes things and is also obsessed with letters, numbers and body parts. I enjoyed far less the parts with the friends, and actually made me feel a bit irritated towards the Lucy rather than sympathising with her.
