Beschreibungen
'It's raw, it's funny, it's honest and is an inspirational read.' Child Magazine
'Poignant ... honest and atmospheric writing.' Sydney Morning Herald
'Wise and witty … will appeal to fans of memoirs that tackle heavy topics with a light touch, such as Jennette McCurdy's I'm Glad My Mom Died, or Adam Kay's This Is Going to Hurt.' Bookseller + Publisher
Victoria Vanstone was trapped in a cycle of binge drinking and hangxiety. In this hilarious and heartfelt memoir, she charts her transition from party girl to parent, and tells how she eventually chose love over liquor.
Victoria grew up in 1980s England in a happy home full of laughter, booze and a disturbing amount of fancy-dress parties. From her youthful days downing cheap wine at the local park to dodging disastrous relationships and a messy run-in with a firework, her reliable mate alcohol was never far from reach.
After travelling the world, Victoria found herself in Australia with a husband, and a child on the way. After sobering up for her first pregnancy, becoming a boring, bottom-wiping, cleaning machine meant she soon returned to her binge-drinking ways, and had to grapple anew with the habits and beliefs that had gone unchecked since childhood.
But can a party girl put down the pint glass for good?
Incredibly funny, brutally honest and at times poignant, A Thousand Wasted Sundays is for anyone that has ever had a close encounter of the drinking kind. For fans of Rosie Waterland, Judith Lucy, Dolly Alderton and Adam Kay.
