Mums on the run

Mums on the Run tells the often hilarious story of two middle-aged women intent on fleeing hearth and home for a blissful, family-free fortnight of drawing and cooking classes - only to end up at leaky old Hartley House. There the ever-resourceful Aunt Biddy is struggling to get her nephew Tom's life back on track by opening his only asset as an idyllic country retreat.Throw in a Polish butler in Dad's Army uniform, a lovelorn artist, and a succession of oddball guests - and the Mums intent on their run certainly get more than the change they had bargained for!'Charlotte Bingham's books make me happy, and none more than Mums on the run. Her sense of humour is infectious.' WENDY CRAIG'A feelgood, put on your dancing shoes kind of book.' SIMON WILLIAMS'Check in at Hartley House for a great read that every stressed-out mum will empathise with.' LIZA GODDARD
