Small Talk Summary

Small Talk by Sheila Hayman

Happily married Helen is very surprised and a little shocked to find, a few weeks into the new year, that she's pregnant. She and her husband had always wanted children but weren't quite sure they wanted them just yet. Is Colum (astonishingly calm) ready to give up his rare motorbike collection? Is Helen (slightly neurotic and frankly baffled by the onslaught of advice she's getting) ready to give up her chardonnay-drenched nights out with the girls? Is Piglet (the best of a bad lot of names from which he was forced to choose) ready to cope with either one of them? The answers are yes, possibly, and absolutely not.

Small Talk Reviews

Fast, funny and engaging - this is chick-lit at its best - Daily Express

Made me laugh more than Bridget Jones - Shirley Conran

A witty tale with a fresh outlook on parenting for the modern woman - Publishing News

As flippant and frothy as Hayman's style is, the shock of pregnancy, the nappy horror and general trauma of life make scary reading. Think Bridget Jones when she finally gets domestic with Mr Darcy - Mirror

Off-beat, snappy, unusual and fresh - The Bookseller

Funny in parts... It will no doubt entertain all new mothers - maybe some of their babies too - Mirror (Book of the Week)

Funny for new parents on the brink of hysteria - The Times

Not many chicklits have dared to attempt the diary style since Bridget Jones, but this one, about a woman's approach to motherhood, pulls it off nicely - Heat
