Book description
Meet the Dobsons and the Jamiesons: two ordinary families on the verge
of a nervous breakdown.
Joe Dobson left his wife and kids when his young girlfriend Nina
discovered she was pregnant. Now he feels like a cliche and Nina feels
like a drudge, swapping her wild nights out with friends for mild nights
in wiping baby sick off the carpet. So when Joe announces that he's
booked a week's luxury holiday in Italy, Nina is thrilled - until she
realises Joe's kids Saul and Tabitha are coming along for the ride.
Meanwhile Guy Jamieson is sure this will be his last family holiday; he
plans to leave his wife Alice on his return. Guy is a high-powered
advertising director, and Alice - with her elasticated skirts, inedible
mince suppers and unshaven legs - just doesn't fit his image. But Alice
has a secret plan of her own: to have another baby...
Funny, smart and refreshingly honest, HAVING A LOVELY TIME is all about
infidelity, jealousy, resentment, recriminations and, just occasionally,
love. Jenny Eclair is an extremely popular broadcaster, comedian and
actor. She is the sole female winner of the Perrier Award, and often
features on BBC radio and television.
