Book description
My Life on a Plate
is the hilarious and moving first novel by bestselling author
India Knight.
Does secretly fantasizing about buying slut shoes and
see-through tops make you a Bad Mother? What about wearing pyjama
bottoms on the school run?
Clare Hutt (known to herself as Jabba the) has put her foxy single
days very much behind her (rather like her cellulite), and has Got Her
Man.
She has a nice house, adorable children who only annoy her 90 per
cent of the time, a large, eccentric and charming family, and an
attractive (but increasingly mysterious) husband. And she gets to have
regular sex . . . well, ish. Anyway, what the hell, it's only loins .
. .
Everyone wants to be married - don't they?

Diary did for singletons' Lynn Barber, Daily Telegraph
'Brilliantly funny' Vogue
'A sharp, witty novel . . .. groundbreaking in women's fiction in
that it attempts to investigate modern marriage: what it does to
women, to their sex drive and their sense of self' Marie Claire
'That rare thing: the lightweight comic novel that is well written,
neatly constructed and actually funny' Guardian
'A comic tour de force' Daily Telegraph
