Serena's thoughts and feelings are felt by so many mothers around the world, who keep it to themselves because they think that they must be a "terrible person" to even think like that. Being a mother is a difficult but rewarding job, but without your husband/partner by your side to take a share of the load, I know from my own personal experience that it can be so tiring and very lonely. It is a fact of life that many fathers have stressful jobs with long hours and even though they are doing it all for their family they forget to take a step back and see what they are missing. Excellent book for many mothers out there.

If a writer can't set themselves a target like this (if they really need it) you have to wonder if they are capable of writing anything worth reading...
