Allison Pearson's debut novel, I Don't Know How She Does It, is a rare and beautiful hybrid: a devastatingly funny novel that's also a compelling fictional world. You want to climb inside this book and inhabit it. However, you might find it pretty messy once you're in there. Narrator Kate Reddy is the manager of a hedge fund and mother of two small children. The book opens with an emblematic scene as Kate "distresses" a store-bought mince pie to make it appear homemade. Her days are measured in increments of minutes and even seconds; her fund stays organized but her house and family are falling apart. The book is a pearly string of great lines. Here's Kate on lack of sleep: "They're right to call it a broken night.... You crawl back to bed and you lie there trying to do the jigsaw of sleep with half the pieces missing." On baby boys: "A mother of a one-year-old son is a movie star in a world without critics." On subtle office dynamics:
The women in the offices of EMF [Kate's firm] don't tend to display pictures of their kids. The higher they go up the ladder, the fewer the photographs. If a man has pictures of kids on his desk, it enhances his humanity; if a woman has them it decreases hers. Why? Because he's not supposed to be home with the children; she is.
There's inherent drama here: Kate is wildly appealing, and we want things to work out for her. In the end, the book isn't a just collection of clever lines on the theme of working motherhood; it's a real, rich novel about a character we come to cherish. --Claire Dederer
Book Description
Delightfully smart and heartbreakingly poignant, Allison Pearson’s smash debut novel has exploded onto bestseller lists as “The national anthem for working mothers.” Hedge-fund manager, wife, and mother of two, Kate Reddy manages to juggle nine currencies in five time zones and keep in step with the Teletubbies. But when she finds herself awake at 1:37 a.m. in a panic over the need to produce a homemade pie for her daughter’s school, she has to admit her life has become unrecognizable. With panache, wisdom, and uproarious wit,
I Don’t Know How She Does It brilliantly dramatizes the dilemma of every working mom.
Download Description
For every woman trying to strike that impossible balance between work and home -- and pretending that she has -- and for every woman who has wanted to hurl the acquaintance who coos admiringly, "Honestly, I just don't know how you do it," out a window, here's a novel to make you cringe with recognition and laugh out loud. With fierce, unsentimental irony, Allison Pearson's novel brilliantly dramatizes the dilemma of working motherhood at the start of the twenty-first century.
Meet Kate Reddy, hedge-fund manager and mother of two. She can juggle nine different currencies in five different time zones and get herself and two children washed and dressed and out of the house in half an hour. In Kate's life, Everything Goes Perfectly as long as Everything Goes Perfectly. She lies to her own mother about how much time she spends with her kids; practices pelvic floor squeezes in the boardroom; applies tips from Toddler Taming to soothe her irascible boss; uses her cell phone in the office bathroom to procure a hamster for her daughter's birthday ("Any working mother who says she doesn't bribe her kids can add Liar to her résumé"); and cries into the laundry hamper when she misses her children's bedtime.
In a novel that is at once uproariously funny and achingly sad, Allison Pearson captures the guilty secret lives of working women -- the self-recrimination, the comic deceptions, the giddy exhaustion, the despair -- as no other writer has. Kate Reddy's conflict -- How are we meant to pass our days? How are we to reconcile the two passions, work and motherhood, that divide our lives? -- gets at the private absurdities of working motherhood as only a novel could: with humor, drama, and bracing wisdom.

Just what I needed to read as a juggling mom-professional-wife ... .......2007-10-05
I read this book a couple of years ago, and I laughed A LOT because I related to much to it. I recommended it to one of my best friends, who is exactly like the protagonist.
Bottom line, I'm only going to say that it was an entertaining read that felt like "hey, I'm not the only one!" and I appreciated it.
As a reader I seek to either get lost in other worlds or see mine reflected in it. It was the second case with this one!
If you are a mother, if you work, if you have a husband (or even if you don't), if you feel like you're juggling it all and one of the balls will eventually drop, just read this book!
I don't know why she wrote it.......2007-09-11
This is not a book to put down lightly. It is one to have the pages stripped out and line the bottom of one's parakeet cage. This was one of the worst books I've ever read. I bought it to read the genera of I guess soap opera literature. I will not judge another woman on anything she does, but Kate is neurotic and married to a beta man and she seems to sail with no rudder. A scene between her mother and a judge near the end is supposed to impress us as some empowering motherhood thing, but in the US, you'd get booted out of court over it and a stiff fine. I couldn't imagine her saying that to one of the terrifying white wigged judges in England.
Poor character development and a bad reflection on women everywhere. This seems to have been put out by someone against motherhood and working.
Entertaining but untypical portrait of working mums.......2007-07-05
This was fun chick lit but the ultimate message it imparts is that women must have their own business to hope for work/life balance. The truth is that a high-powered corporate job is often incompatible with being a hands-on mom. The only real "aha" for Kate was discovering that but then she went with an "all or nothing" solution and ignored the financial realities she'd talked about in the past. I didn't really like Kate as a character and a person. She was not true to herself, her family or her marriage. She lacked integrity and I wasn't sure she achieved it, even at the end.
I know how she does it - she has help.......2007-07-03
I was expecting a totally different book, to be quite honest. I wasn't expecting a mother who "juggled" work and housework and all with help and plenty of money. She has a nanny and a housecleaner! Granted, her housecleaner for some reason can't clean hardly anything beyond what's directly in front of her, but she can still afford help nonetheless. And the ending? I thought it defeated the entire purpose of the book.
Honestly, I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone. Thank goodness I borrowed it and didn't waste my money on it.
loved it!.......2007-06-29
I don't how the book ended up in my house but I took it on vacation and loved it! At first I was a little confused by the terminology in the book before I realized it is based in London. Although to me Kate got a little annoying with the kids and hubby, and I for entertainments sake wish her relationship with Abelhammer could have gone a teensy bit futher. I really enjoyed the book.

Very helpful.......2006-08-01
I found quite a few helpful bits of information for navigating London with my child. I haven't yet been, so this may be hasty, however, we are planning our stay in London relying in large part on this book.
Book Description
"I'm no different than any other kid. I'm just a GF kid," says Paris, matter-of-factly. She's the spunky eleven-year-old narrator of this story for kids with celiac disease who must eat gluten-free (GF) foods. With equal parts humor and directness, Paris* gets right down to business explaining what it's like to have celiac disease. (*Paris's mom wrote the story, full of her daughter's wisecracking comments, and her dad drew the funny, cartoony illustrations.)
Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that affects 1 in 250 kids. If you have celiac disease, you cannot tolerate gluten, a substance found in many foods, including--gulp!--cake, cookies, pasta, or pizza. Don't sweat it. Paris has creative GF solutions for you. She offers tips on what to bring to school, parties, and sleep-overs; where to shop for GF foods at stores and online; and how to choose from among plenty of foods that don't contain gluten, like bananas, yogurt, popcorn, chocolate pudding cups, hamburgers, soda, and more! Paris explains that you don't have to worry about your friends either. They'll get on board once they understand that eating even a tiny bit of gluten can make you sick, tired, or slow your growth.
In THE GF KID, you'll find everything you need to know to get on with your gluten-free life, including:
What celiac disease is and how you can manage it
How to choose safe, gluten-free foods and what to avoid
Lists of gluten-free foods (and candy!)
Tips for eating away from home (restaurants, school, friends' homes, the movies)
Keeping your gluten-free stuff separate from gluteny stuff
Favorite GF recipes
If you're the parent of a preteen or young teen with celiac disease—-whether your child is newly diagnosed or has been living with celiac disease for a while—-you'll want to have this friendly and empowering book for your child. It's also a great read for friends, neighbors, classmates, and teachers who want to be supportive and help your son or daughter be a GF kid.
Customer Reviews:
Our Favorite Celiac Reference Book.......2007-09-18
The GF Kid: A Celiac Disease Survival Guide is our favorite reference book for Celiac Disease. We have two children with Celiac Disease. My eight year old was diagnosed right before she started second grade. I sent the book in to school and her teacher read it to the class so that the teacher and students could better understand my daughter's condition and what she can and cannot eat. (Her third grade teacher is currently reading it as well).
It's a quick read - the only book my husband has read about Celiac - and it's very informative. I am purchasing my second copy so that I always have a spare. I plan to send this book to my newly diagnosed daughter's daycare.
I also send the book along when my daughter visits a new friend's house so that the parents can understand her condition and what she can and cannot eat. There are great drawings and examples of wonderful GF lunches and snacks.
I highly recommend this book to any parent with children with Celiac.
Very Fun and Very Educational.......2007-01-10
My nine-year-old neice has celiac disease. I borrowed the book from the library first, and then bought it when I found it so informative for adults, and so much fun for kids. It is presented in quasi-comic book format, with a young teen girl narrating about what it's like to have celiac disease. Mostly she explains what she can and can't eat, and how she handles eating at her friends' houses, eating out, and not being "different" when she's different. I figured Jessie knew all these things, but the book would be a good vehicle for her to explain to her friends in a very easily explained way, about why she eats a little differently than they do.
I copied several pages of information for my own reference before giving it to her. The narrating character lists many natural foods she can eat, and many commercial foods she can eat. There are also pages of websites for more information, and sources for gluten free products. I would consider this a must-buy for a gluten free kid. Thank you to author Melissa London, this was a brilliant book, delivering exactly what we needed.
Doesn't just help kids..........2006-11-10
This book really relates to kids with celiac disease. It breaks it down and spells it out in terms they can relate to. My twin grandsons were diagnosed and this not only helped them, but all the adults, understand the new lifestyle they were embarking on. Thanks to the author and her parents for all the great information.
The GF Kid: A Celiac Disease Survival Guide.......2006-11-10
This book is an easy to read, amusing, positive, informative book to help all those with Celiac and their family and friends understand the dietary lifestyle needed to manage Celiac. It was a great guide for my daughter to take to her college dorm to help her roommates and new friends understand her diet and condition. The illustrations are very amusing. I would also recommend this book for teachers or school counselors to help them and other students easily understand the basics of managing Celiac Disease.
Great for kids.......2006-03-26
My 9year old son found this book brillant he could really associate with it and found it very informative and funny.

Customer Reviews:
Robert Benchley was wrong.......2007-08-31
Decades ago, Robert Benchley wrote that there are two ways to travel: first class and with children. Had Ms. Bates and Ms. Latempa written this book before Benchley made his remark, he might not have said it.
Storybook Travels is helpful in bringing parents and children into the same experiences -- reading together and traveling together -- with enjoyment. This book is a must for all readers and travelers. What better way to engage your children in your travel experience?
Our family gives this book and a few of the books referred to within it as gifts at birthday parties and baby showers. It is always a hit!
Thank you.......2004-03-30
Thanks to authors Bates and Latempa for their delightful and intelligent approach to traveling with kids. We have used books such as Linnea in Monet's Garden, Eloise in Paris, and the Madeleine books in our travels to Paris, but what's impressive about this book is the way the authors have drawn on so many other children's classics as a backdrop for family travel. I write about family travel myself and highly recommend this book --it's a good read whether you are packing to go, or just happy as an armchair traveler.
An inspiration.......2002-08-01
This book is a great jumping-off point for family vacations in the US or abroad. It will inspire you to travel AND read with your family!

Highest recommendation.
GRANDPARENT OF 10.......2002-06-25
MY GRANDCHILDREN ARE JUST GETTING OLD ENOUGH TO TRAVEL, AND THIS BOOK GIVES ME A GUIDE TO MANY CHOICES OF WHERE WE CAN TAKE THEM (A FEW AT A TIME!) IT'S GREAT TO HAVE A PROJECT WHEN PLANNING A TRIP, AND IT WILL GIVE ME A SOURCE OF CONVERSATION WITH THEM AND A WAY OF DISCOVERING WHAT BOOKS THEY REALLY ENJOY. READING SOME OF THESE SUGGESTED BOOKS WITH THEM AND MAKING JOINT DECISIONS WILL ALSO BE FUN--THE BOOK IS SO WELL WRITTEN AND INFORMATIVE IT MAKES THE IDEA OF SEEKING OUT LOCATIONS OF BOOKS WHICH HAVE SET OUR IMAGINATIONS SOARING IN OUR CHILDHOODS, AND THEIRS, VERY SPECIAL. THE ITINERARIES ARE ALL THERE, AND TOURIST OFFICES,WEB SITES, RESERVATION NUMBERS---AND IT'S HONEST--NO FLOWERY DISCRIPTIONS OF EVERY LOCATION--I LOVED IT!!!!!!

Best pictures of the city!.......2006-02-21
Took 3 guides to London for our 2005 trip. This guide has the best pictures of the 3. Most of the information is very good. The walking tours are the best! It even tells you when to stop and eat.hmmmmm
The guide doesn't really cover all aspects if you are new to the culture and city. No real tips on staying out of trouble and the detailed city map is combersome. That aside, the book is well put together with wire spirals, the cover is a hard paper for good construction.
An A+ for AAA.......2004-01-07
Before traveling to London, we purchased many travel books, but AAA's London guide was the only one we took with us. The book is filled with beautiful color photos, great descriptions, planned itineraries, and a fantastic detailed map. We are planning on traveling to Rome this summer and AAA's Rome guide is the only travel book we will be purchasing before we go.
The best book about London I found.......2001-01-30
This is the best travel book about the London that I found. It has all necessary information that I was looking for without the tones of text and pictures. It gives you so good ideas about what you can or should see in one day that I decided just to follow the book. :)
Our bible while in London.......2000-11-05
My wife and I used this travel guide extensively while in London. It served as our bible, tour guide, and street map. It is laid out in a very clearly and the sprial binder makes it very easy to flip to any page. It is filled with clear, color pictures and maps. The guide is broken down into various regions throughout London, with each section highlighting Must See Attractions, and then At Your Leisure sites that are also in the area. It also has a very nice reference on how to see a region in one day. An Underground map is on the inside back cover, and a regional map of London on the front inside cover. Other nice features are sections called 'Finding Your Feet' - which provides great information for when you first arrive in London (either by plane, train, boat, etc..) and a 'Practicalities' seciton that talks about currency, clothes sizes,etc.
What really made this book stand out compared to other London travel guides was it included detailed street maps of these regions. Those proved invaluable for us once we started walking around the area. The book is compact, and fit inside my coat pocket comfortably.

Kids London.......2000-05-02
Kids London is a lifesaver for any parent planning a trip to London! Written in conjunction with the London Transport, the book gives clear directions to all the major landmarks as well as to a variety of children's activity centers (science, art, theater, sports, etc.) and local parks. The author also includes child friendly restaurants, recommendations on shopping, gives an overview of the yearly festivals, and gives examples of daily outing schedules (on all of the listings the address, telephone number, hours of operation, fees, and directions to the site are included). I have found this book indispensable in planning for our stay in London (with 3 children!) and will definately bring it with me wherever we go!
