A funny, knowing and absorbing first novel that mines the life of one frazzled and frumpy-feeling Manhattan stay-at-home mummy whose mind races with internal debate about husband management and the 2,617 daily tasks associated with taking care of two preschool age children. Her head also hums with the eternal question: should she go back to work? Set on playgrounds, in playgroups, at pre-schools and birthday parties, "What Do You Do All Day" is both comic and wise, Heroine Jennifer Bradley and her daily dilemmas - small and large - will be instantly recognisable to reading mothers - both working and non-working everywhere.
