About this deal

Funny, feel-good and fabulous, M Is For Mummy is a charming tale full of moments that will have readers roaring with laughter and others that will have them reaching for the tissues. Her illustrated comedy blog Carry on Katy was shortlisted for the BritMums Brilliance in Blogging award for two consecutive years. Lucy, an exhausted mother of two boys, misses her life as an accomplished cellist as she no longer has time to play due to trying to parent her boys and keep her marriage afloat.

Lucy is a Celloist, her husband also a musician, now with two young children to bring up she is finding it hard to follow her career and hard to find time for herself. I read this incredibly quickly as I just wanted to keep reading which is always the sign of a good book. Motherhood takes every ounce of her energy, so much so that it's like she's lost her own identity, and if it wasn't for her close friends, Jen and Charlie, she'd give up even imagining a future of music, for herself. A funny and touching insight into music, autism and motherhood' Dawn French'A truthful book that dives headfirst into the realities of motherhood that will make you laugh out loud and touch your heart in equal measure' Izzy Judd________________________________Your family doesn't fit the mould. There are so many important lessons to learn in this book; from moms themselves, to friends and even just onlookers who never know the whole story behind a child's tantrum.I adored the emphasis on Stan being a unique and amazing individual, and not just an 'autistic child'.

The character was written with warmth and honesty, both of which fed into the fact that I felt a kinship with her rather than feeling like she was moaning about everything in her life; a fine line to walk, but one that was walked well in this book. And I loved Lucy’s bond with her friends and the fact that how their friendship was kind of only thing that kept her sane through all the difficult times.

Everything needs 100% attention and effort but it’s not possible to maintain everything at that rate. One of her children is quite extraordinary and Lucy fears that he may be autistic, prone to meltdowns, but also very clever.
