‘I romped through ‘Why Mummy Drinks at Christmas’, and I absolutely adored it’ – Jilly Cooper

Tis’ the season to get trollied!

Mummy has always loved Christmas. Sure, the kids turn into demons, the dinner gets burnt to a crisp and Aunt Louisa’s general staggering inappropriateness sends Mummy reaching for the nearest maximum-strength festive tipple, but nevertheless, for her, Christmas is always special.

This year, she wants nothing more than to perfectly fig up the pudding and sit by the fire reading aloud from A Christmas Carol to a rapt, rosy-cheeked audience. But, just like all Mummy’s best-laid plans, this year’s Festive Vision is in danger of being totally derailed by her chaotic family. There’s not much chance of any action under the mistletoe, and the kids are just not playing ball.

Can Mummy find her silver lining after all and bring the whole family together for one moment of harmony, so they can finally proclaim ‘Verily You Are the Queen of Christmas’? Or should she get stuck into the festive spirits and just let it all go?

In her latest, top-rated fiction bestseller, Sunday Times bestselling author Gill Sims explores the trials of marriage and the bonds of friendship amidst the Christmas chaos. Mummy's determination to create the perfect holiday celebration, despite the odds, is both humorous and inspiring.

For fans of Alexandra Potter (More Confessions of a Forty-Something F**k Up), Sophie Kinsella (The Burnout), Anna Jefferson (Nailing It), Jane Fallon (Worst Idea Ever), and Sophie Ranald (Not in a Million Years).
