凱特.瑞迪是成功的基金經理人,也是兩個小孩的媽。她永遠在跟時間賽跑,手裡同時玩著許多顆球:公司裡應付不完的男人,忍氣吞聲的丈夫,冷眼旁觀的公婆,機巧的奶媽以及兩個需要媽媽的可愛孩子,噢,還要外加一位電子情人。遲早有一天,這個女人會因為失誤而漏掉手裡的某一顆球......
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.
