The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year – Sue Townsend (2012 Paperback, Second-Hand Book)
A sharply observed and darkly comic novel from Sue Townsend about family, identity and one woman’s decision to simply stop taking part.
The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year follows Eva Beaver, who climbs into bed after her children leave home for university and decides she has no intention of getting back out. What begins as an act of exhaustion quickly transforms into something much larger as family, friends and strangers react to her unexpected withdrawal from everyday life.
With Townsend’s trademark wit and social observation, the novel explores marriage, motherhood, midlife and the pressures of constantly meeting other people’s expectations. It is a humorous and sometimes poignant story about what happens when one person finally decides to put herself first.
