Underbelly

- Blurb -

' Darkly voyeuristic but with heart - as funny as it is painful and true. We loved it' GRAZIA' I don' t think I' ve ever turned the pages of a book so quickly. So sharp, so tender. . . truly excellent storytelling' DAISY BUCHANAN' Entertaining and playful but with huge depth, meaning and heart. I raced through it' EMMA GANNONUNDERBELLY[n. ] singularThe soft underside or abdomen of a mammal. An area vulnerable to attack. A dark, hidden part of society. Lo and Dylan are living parallel lives, worlds apart. Lo is the ultimate middle-class mother, all perfectly polished Instagram posts and armchair activism. Dylan is just about surviving on a zero-hours telemarketing job from her flat, trying to keep food on the table. But when they meet at the school gates, they are catapulted into each other' s homes and lives - with devastating consequences . . . Explosive, sharply humorous and unflinchingly honest, Underbelly slices through the filtered surface of modern women' s lives to expose the dark truth beneath. Coming August 2021!Praise for Anna Whitehouse:' Painful and funny - and painfully funny' Emma Freud' Thank God there is none of that smug, married-couple twattery in this book. I loved it' Jane Garvey' Fantastically unsmug' Woman' s Hour' This book is a hoot - hilarious and heartfelt' Emma Gannon' Snort-tea-through-nose funny' Cherry Healey' This book left me laughing so very hard and equally blubbing with tears' Jools Oliver
