How many of us have had the thought this title expresses? The wife of a brilliant and unfaithful scientist, mother of brilliant twins, suddenly has it and the courage to go to bed and stay in and on it. Excellent beginning carried ably through but towards the end, when it needs even more originality, it wilts and the author loses her courage and her book. Not bad for a holiday or long journey and full of life-affirming humour.
