Plimmer's a major new talent in dad lit.' - "Woman magazine". You would think that as an acclaimed writer and comedian, Martin Plimmer would be well able to run a happy household.

The art of juggling a house full of cats, nannies, stray children along with a collapsing freelance career is hilariously brought to life. This is one domestic disaster you are guaranteed to enjoy.
