Joe Dobson left his wife and kids when his girlfriend, Nina, discovered she was pregnant. Now he feels like a cliché, and Nina feels like a drudge. When Joe announces that he’s booked a luxury holiday in Tuscany, Nina is thrilled until she realizes that Joe’s kids are coming along for the ride. Meanwhile Guy Jamieson is sure this will be his last family holiday. He plans to leave his wife, Alice, and their two sons on his return. Alice with her elasticized skirts and inedible dinners just doesn’t fit Guy’s self-image. But Alice has a secret plan of her own: to have another baby.

Jenny Eclair is the author of Camberwell Beauty.
Review:
CAMBERWELL BEAUTY 'A fine first novel ... this comedienne has always been a novelist in waiting ... Eclair's modern cautionary tale has the same bittersweet wit that shapes her stand-up set' - Guardian 'Jenny Eclair writes as she speaks - irreverent observations are thrown down gauntlet-like as she rages on to the next gag' - The Times
