Book Description
It is not a biography, but it talks about me as well... and about you. It is not a manual, but you will learn the art of receiving guests even when your house isn’t clean and you will learn about the tricks to make your family budget work out. It is not a book of recipes and cleaning tricks, but you will find some advice and suggestions to make the domestic life a bit easier and not go insane trying to pair your socks. It is not a book, simply because I am not a writer. "Between the many types of housewives, we can find Maggy, the compulsive housewife, Dorothy, the “miss perfect” housewife, or Amy the hesitant housewife... we then have Molly, the desperate housewife: she really didn’t want to be a housewife. She hates dust. She hates it just as much as she would hate her husband’s lover. She hates the plants on the balcony that won’t survive until the end of the month, like her wallet. We then have the Ideal Housewife, always fighting against time, house cleaning, unpaired socks and she loves her dusty house, her crazy, noisy family and yes... she also loves chaos and mess, signs of a happy home.

The perfect 1950s Housewife: glamorous, motherly, doting, supportive, flirty yet wholesome, endlessly cheerful...To the modern woman this all seems rather terrifying (and frankly a little nauseating). There's nothing like a glamorous, high-heeled mother at the school gates to make the rest of us feel like overweight, ill-tempered, soup-stained slatterns. And yet those marvels of 1950s femininity seemed to manage to be effortlessly lovely at every turn. This book guides you through the crazy golf course of fashion, beauty, home skills, child rearing, lino-laying, husband pleasing and general marital bliss.And if, at the end of this extraordinary journey of enlightenment, you have any questions or nagging doubts, you need only consult 'The Wireless Doctor', who can help with anything from naughty children, stroppy husbands, or 'intimate' neglect. Grab yourself a cocktail and a cheese straw and bury your nose in this glorious guide that will have you apologising to your mother for the rest of your life.

Book Description
In this captivating dual narrative novel, a modern-day woman finds inspiration in hidden notes left by her home’s previous owner, a quintessential 1950s housewife. As she discovers remarkable parallels between this woman’s life and her own, it causes her to question the foundation of her own relationship with her husband--and what it means to be a wife fighting for her place in a patriarchal society. When Alice Hale leaves a career in publicity to become a writer and follows her husband to the New York suburbs, she is unaccustomed to filling her days alone in a big, empty house. But when she finds a vintage cookbook buried in a box in the old home's basement, she becomes captivated by the cookbook’s previous owner--1950s housewife Nellie Murdoch. As Alice cooks her way through the past, she realizes that within the cookbook’s pages Nellie left clues about her life--including a mysterious series of unsent letters penned to her mother. Soon Alice learns that while baked Alaska and meatloaf five ways may seem harmless, Nellie's secrets may have been anything but. When Alice uncovers a more sinister--even dangerous--side to Nellie’s marriage, and has become increasingly dissatisfied with the mounting pressures in her own relationship, she begins to take control of her life and protect herself with a few secrets of her own.
