The queen of the black-hearted soap opera is back! Welcome to the upwardly mobile Prendergast Road... On Prendergast Road, deep in Nappy Valley, among olive trees in terracotta, lower fuel emissions, Lithuanian prostitutes, teenage drug dealers, stalkers and soaring house prices, five desperate women wait... The progeny of the IVF generation is ready to start school and only one of them is destined to get a place in Nappy Valley's most oversubscribed cradle of learning. How far will these women go to get that place? Follow Kate Hunter into the depths of her impeccably honed life, as she struggles to maintain the façade of perfection. When exactly did life become a life class? Is happiness overrated? Is it just possible that beneath the flawless sheen of her friends' and neighbours' amazingly trouble-free lives, beneath the freshly-ironed shirts and home-grown veg, lie the same half-truths, the same uncertainties and the same desperation to keep up with the Joneses...? Sarah May is an intimate observer of society (AKA curtain-twitcher of the highest order) and her novel is an hilariously dark-hearted soap opera of our everyday lives. In a society that always strives to be more organic, less carbon-polluting, more virtuous than any other, 'The Rise and Fall of the Domestic Diva' is a breath of fresh air (imported from the mountains of Nepal and filtered organically for purity, of course. A snip at only £6.99.).… (altro)

Incipit

In een dal tussen de heuvels van Zuid-Londen schrok Kate Hunter wakker onder haar zwartsatijnen laken, dat gekreukeld en nat van het angstzweet om haar heen was gedraaid.
Citazioni

En zoals de meesten van haar oudere leeftijdgenoten wist ze dat het ergste wat ouderdom je kon brengen het besef was dat het te laat was. Geconfronteerd met je eigen sterfelijkheid - want op een gegeven moment moet je het feit dat je maar één keer leeft onder ogen zien - kun je eindelijk onderscheid maken, niet tussen goed en kwaad, maar tussen de dingen die ertoe doen en de dingen die er niet toe doen, Vergezeld van deze wijsheid, waar je niets meer mee kunt, worstel je je door je laatste dagen heen, dagen met zoveel uren erin, dat je er gek van wordt.

De tuin was dan wel overwoekerd, maar toen ze uit het raam keek zag ze, heel even maar, niet langer dan een fractie van een seconde, alleen maar bomen, zo ver het oog reikte, en was de wereld nieuw en van haar.
