What happens when a duvet day turns into a duvet year?
Sue Townsend, the bestselling author of the Adrian Mole series, returns withThe Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year, a funny and touching novel about what happens when someone stops being the person everyone wants them to be.
The day her twins leave home, Eva climbs into bed and stays there. For seventeen years she's wanted to yell at the world,'Stop! I want to get off'.Finally, this is her chance.
Her husband Brian, an astronomer having an unsatisfactory affair, is upset. Who will cook his dinner? Eva, he complains, is attention seeking. But word of Eva's defiance spreads.
Legions of fans, believing she is protesting, gather in the street. While Alexander the white van man brings tea, toast and sympathy. And from this odd but comforting place Eva begins to see both herself and the world very, very differently. . .
Bestselling author Sue Townsend has been Britain's favourite comic writer for over three decades.
