Sex. There's a lot of it about. And Stella is definitely not getting her fair share. She's also got a few handicaps: she's the wrong side of thirty-five, she's a single mum (to the adorable Honey), and her French hot-bloodedness is liable to turn grown men pale. Mind you, the men she meets are either prema-tanned, tight-trousered smoothies with strangely white teeth or - easy, tiger - balding, poorly socialized podgers. One lot have black satin sheets, the other lot have, well, wives. What's a girl to do?


Outrageously entertaining. This is not only the wickedest book you'll read all year, but also the funniest.

Katie Carr, doctor (and self-declared 'good person'), has just had an affair.

But then David meets DJ GoodNews, astonishingly effective, faith healer and do-gooder of the unbearably smug kind. And now David is good. Too good actually, he starts to put theory into practise, giving away their kids' toys, reaching out to the hopeless and homeless in a very personal and for Katie, disturbing way. It seems to her that if charity begins at home, it may be time to move.
