Book description
Another hilarious offering from bestselling author Cate Kendall. From
the backwaters of Tasmania to the sophisticated streets of Sydney,
sisters Bellarene and Serandipity have come a long way. As international
flight attendants the world is their oyster à Â- until Sera fell in love
and settled for family life. Obsessed with keeping up appearances, Sera
goes to extreme lengths to maintain the illusion of perfection, while
Bella just wants to fly away from the responsibility of mothering her
little sister, from the sadness of her broken marriage, and from
memories of the past. Gathering her friends at Stitch 'n' Bitch is like
therapy. There's a lot of talk, and not much knitting - and they
wouldn't have it any other way. Ditzy Mallory has her own shocks in
store, and single mum Chantrea agonises over work and childcare. Widowed
single dad, Sam, is terrified of the dating scene, and Sera's uptight
neighbour, Jacquline, has a little secret, one that could destroy her
neatly ordered world. Meanwhile Joan, Sera's mother-in-law, watches then
all and sniffs with disdain at their trivial worries. Sera wants to be
perfect. Bella just wants to be free. Will the sisters get what they
want? Cate Kendall is actually writing team Lisa Blundell and Michelle
Hamer, who first met as private-school mums over a latte in mid-2005. As
they sipped coffee and poked fun at the posh mums of the private school
world it dawned on them that this topic could make a great book. The two
mums each have four children. As a prolific journalist, Michelle has
been widely published across Australia, has been an editor at The Age,
and is author of the books: It Couldn't Happen to Me, How it Feels, and
Caesarean Culture. The advertising game was Lisa's entrà ©e into
writing with several years copywriting under her belt - she also writes
for The Age. Michelle and Lisa have written four books together, Gucci
Mamas, Versace Sisters, Chanel Sweethearts and Armani Angels.
