My perfect Sunday
About ten we'll move on to Tootsies in Wimbledon Village, our favourite place to go for a Sunday breakfast. They serve a full English as well as French toast and endless cappuccinos. At some stage we'll go over to the common to play fisbee and do 'boy' things. I tend to get a bit waylaid because Tootsies is next door to all the nice shops, so I might meet my sister for a little spree. I like to read in bed, it's so civilised. However, if I'm in the middle of writing a novel I won't read other authors because I don't want someone else's voice to get inside my head. What's nice about our long weekends is being able to go to bed at 11 without that horrible Sunday night feeling.

With a colorful, eccentric cast of characters, razor-sharp observations, and her signature wit and charm, Sophie Kinsella crafts a humorous, yet thoughtful portrait of a marriage and shines a light on the danger of not looking past the many layers of the ones you love to discover how infinitely fascinating--and surprising--they truly are\"-- Provided by publisher.
