The Rise and Fall of a Yummy Mummy

Synopsis of The Rise and Fall of a Yummy Mummy

«The Rise and Fall of a Yummy Mummy» is the contemporary humour novel by Polly Williams, published by Sphere in paperback (384 pages, in English).

Six months after becoming a mother, Amy doesn't recognise herself: she still looks pregnant, suspects her boyfriend, and motherhood stirs up memories of her childhood. Alice, an apparently perfect mother, convinces her to transform her body and her life. The result is a bittersweet comedy about desire, self-esteem and the contradictions of modern motherhood.

This work is Polly Williams's first novel, originally published in 2006. The cover presents it as a The Sunday Times bestseller.

For readers of humour novels and chick lit, especially stories about motherhood, relationships and family life.
