On 4 December 2000, the first episode from Kate Reddy’s life appeared under the title “I Don’t Know How She Does It.” By Christmas, my agent Pat Kavanagh had persuaded Alison Samuel at the publishing house Chatto & Windus and Caroline Michel at Vintage to take an amazing leap of faith.

I picked him up and he gave me such a wonderful smile– he was so happy to see me – but he had lost so much weight. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Most of the women went to great lengths to hide the fact they had kids – never displaying photographs, never mentioning any childcare problems, always making a Man’s Excuse if they were late – ie, trouble with the car or the traffic rather than a sick baby.Because the corporate culture is hostile to mothers who are deemed to Lack Commitment, there is no good time for a young ambitious person to have a baby so she postpones it and postpones it, always thinking it might get easier later on and it never does, and then it’s too late, which I think is a tragedy. Every night, I called my husband and he told me that six-month-old Thomas was “a little under the weather.” When I finally got home, I walked into the kitchen and I realized immediately that the baby had been ill. I don’t think working mothers judge the stay-home mothers – they know they’ve made the big sacrifice to be with their kids – but I think some judging may go on the other way round.Q: The enthusiasm for your novel has been immediate and passionate – certainly here at Knopf.

It felt as though I’d opened a small door onto a parallel world and on the other side was this huge amount of unacknowledged feeling.Then, I attended a discussion on work-life balance at the London Business School and the professional women in the room started to share their stories. First there was the trip to Stockholm to spend some face time with a jumpy new client, then Rod Task called from the office and told me to get my ass over to New York and hold the hand of an old client who needed reassuring that the new client wasn't taking up too much of my time. It was not long after my daughter was born, and when I held out my hand to shake the movie stars I realized I had this kind of epaulette of banana sick on my black jacket.
