Anonymums

Once upon a time, there were three mums - Mum A, Mum B and Mum C.

Bored with their suburban existence, they decided to add some spice to their lives. For three months, they would dare each other to do things. Mum B would find herself wearing firecracker red lipstick for a whole week (yes, even to swimming lessons); Mum C would tell her atheist husband she'd found religion; and Mum A would have a secret tryst with Santa in a shopping centre.

They also dared each other to tell the truth...The truth about motherhood. The truth about their lives. The truth about who they'd become, compared with who they wanted to be. By turns jaw-achingly funny, touching, sad and sensible, Anonymums proves that sometimes a dash of spice, two good friends and ripping all the hair from your body (dare number three) is all you need to get you back on track.

About the Authors

Mum A is the author of several novels. They all hurt more than giving birth.

Mum B has worked in offices for years. Some of them have been like cocktail parties (without alcohol), others have been Dickensian workhouses. All of them were great training for the politics involved in raising two children..

Mum C has worked for a national electronics magazine and, astonishingly enough, for a motor biking magazine, though she hasn’t actually been on any kind of bike since she was nine years old. She is currently in the throes of completing a PhD in English Literature.
