About this listen

No.1 bestselling author Gill Sims is back with her eagerly awaited sixth Why Mummy novel.

When family life gives you lemons, trade them for grapes!

Mummy Ellen has a Vision. She will cherish every moment this holiday with her Moppets Peter and Jane, alongside her ride-or-die best pal, Hannah. There will be wicker baskets! Vintage bicycles! Pink sunshine wine! And not an electronic babysitter in sight.

But as she strives for her picture-perfect “Ultimate Family Summer” in her not-quite-a-chateau, reality crashes the party. With small feral hell-beasts to keep alive on the daily, and Hannah suddenly MIA, wine o’clock gets earlier by the day.

Can Ellen keep The Vision alive without resorting to nightly beige ‘freezer tapas’ (aka guilt-flavoured chicken nuggets)? Or will she reach the end of her Gentle Parenting book – and her tether – as her dream holiday descends into a nightmare?

Join Ellen on her uproarious quest to salvage one of the #18PreciousSummers, or simply find her Grape Escape.

Critic reviews

'God, she's funny.' – Jilly Cooper

Most relevant

Each 'WHY MUMMY' book should be made into a 10 part COMEDY series staring narrator and actress 'GABRIELLE GLAISTER ' as she really brings 'Ellen' alive from the pages ~ she is so believable. They made the book 'THE FLATSHARE ' a successful series.

Gill Sims has hit on something very special with these books. This listen was again, relatable and hilarious, I had 4 small children, so I have lived it.

My favourite part was the 'German Tourist' who were at all the places Ellen took the kids through the summer holidays 😂 I was laughing out loud it was hilarious 😂

I saved my credit waiting for this listen and I am so glad I did, as it was worth it and I definitely recommend this book!!
