Winner of the Audiobook of the Year – Specsavers National Book Awards What happens when a duvet day turns into a duvet year? The day her twins leave home, Eva climbs into bed and stays there. For seventeen years she's wanted to yell at the world, 'Stop! I want to get off'. Finally, this is her chance. Her husband Brian, an astronomer having an unsatisfactory affair, is upset. Who will cook his dinner? Eva, he complains, is attention seeking. But word of Eva's defiance spreads. Legions of fans, believing she is protesting, gather in the street. While Alexander the white van man brings tea, toast and sympathy. And from this odd but comforting place Eva begins to see both herself and the world very, very differently. . . ‘Hilarious and totally Townsend. There were parts where I laughed until I cried' Daily Mail 'Laugh-out-loud . . . a teeming world of characters whose foibles and misunderstandings provide glorious amusement. Something deeper and darker than comedy' Sunday Times ‘Full of colour and glows with life' Independent 'Touching and hilarious. Bursting with witty social commentary as well as humour' Women's Weekly 'A funny, poignant look at modern family life' Daily Express

The story is nice but i did not like the way it was spoken so did not finish. I read before i go to sleep and when about to fall asleep and the storyteller goes raising voices and even shouting in order to express a quarrel in the book that’s really annoying to me.. less is more in this case. Too bad as i liked the book.
