The Pissed-off Parents Club by Mink Elliott (Sphere)
Stranded in an insular village while her husband commutes to his job in London, Roxy soon starts to get a serious case of cabin fever. And the snooty yummy-mummies at the mother-and-baby groups are not helping.
Roxy decides to start a new type of parenting group – one where the kids stay at home and the parents go to the pub. At first unsure whether her idea will be welcomed in this quiet community, she soon realises that there are more kindred spirits around than she ever knew.
And in expressing her own frustrations, she comes closer to understanding the challenges faced by her Aussie husband as he strives to be a good provider to his little family.
The characters she meets (such as Tim, the devoted gay uncle, and Olivia, the woman with a face like a slapped arse) and the life lessons she learns make this a sweet read with a serious sub-text about the challenges of being a parent.
