'Brilliant' Sunday Express'Addictive' Daily Mirror'Brutally funny' ObserverMeet the Dobsons and the Jamiesons: two ordinary families on the verge of a nervous breakdown.Joe Dobson left his wife and kids when his young girlfriend Nina discovered she was pregnant. Now he feels like a cliche and Nina feels like a drudge, swapping her wild nights out with friends for mild nights in wiping baby sick off the carpet. So when Joe announces that he's booked a week's luxury holiday in Italy, Nina is thrilled - until she realises Joe's kids Saul and Tabitha 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 on his return. Guy is a high-powered advertising director, and Alice - with her elasticated skirts, inedible mince suppers and unshaven legs - just doesn't fit his image. But Alice has a secret plan of her own: to have another baby... Funny, smart and refreshingly honest, Having a Lovely Time is all about infidelity, jealousy, resentment, recriminations and, just occasionally, love - from the Sunday Times bestselling author Jenny Eclair. __________________PRAISE FOR JENNY ECLAIR:'Wonderfully written, insightful and riveting' Daily Mail'Both heart-rending and compelling' Clare Mackintosh'SO immersive, atmospheric and compelling' Marian Keyes'Witty, moving, dark and absorbing' Jo Brand'An elegant, gripping and mesmeric read' Helen Lederer'An absolute page-turner of a story' Judy Finnigan'Compelling, compassionate and keenly observed' Independent

Mer om författaren

Stand-up comedian Jenny Eclair was the first woman to win the Perrier Award, the UK's top comedy award, in 1995. Since then, Jenny has taken multiple shows on tour around the country, most recently Jokes, Jokes, Jokes (the live version of her 'very funny' autobiography). Jenny is well known for her starring role on BBC One's Grumpy Old Women which ran for three series and was then adapted into four live shows touring across the UK and Australia, all of which Jenny co-wrote (with Judith Holder) and starred in. Continuing her partnership with Judith, producer of Grumpy Old Women, Jenny co-hosts Older and Wider, the podcast for people who don't know what a podcast is - a weekly ramble about life, with additional swearing. She is also the writer of the much-loved BBC Radio Four Little Lifetimes monologues which ran for seven series. Jenny was a contestant on series fifteen of Taskmaster (Channel 4) and currently hosts the spin-off podcast Taskmaster: The People's Podcast. Jenny is a critically acclaimed author with seven novels, a collection of short stories and a number of non-fiction books under her belt.
