Mum's List

The unabridged, digital audiobook edition of St John Greene's heartwarming memoir, Mum's List, read by the actor Peter Kenny.

'Kiss boys two times after I have gone'

'Please teach the boys to say what they mean'

'Mummy loved orange Club biscuits, jam and jelly and lemon curd'

On her deathbed, Kate Greene's only concern was for her two little boys, Reef and Finn, and her loving husband, Singe. She knew she'd be leaving them behind very soon.

Over her last few days, Kate created Mum's List. The couple talked and cried together as she wrote her thoughts and wishes down, trying to help the man she loved create the best life for their boys after she was gone.

It wasn't the first time Singe and Kate had faced the spectre of death. Four years earlier, doctors discovered a large lump in baby Reef 's abdomen. Kate, pregnant with Finn, was so distressed that she gave birth dangerously early. Both boys pulled through, but afterwards Kate received the diagnosis that every woman dreads . . .

Reviews

Summer's sauciest sexual memoir... Intimate and very engaging

—— Elle

An outspoken and saucy read about sex and the single gal. We can't get enough of it!

—— OK! Hot Stars

Grippingly filthy... Abby is explicit, prolific and sympathetic

—— Evening Standard

Set to be one of the summer's big talking points

—— Eve

Horny, happy and honest...the must-buy book of the summer

—— Scarlet

You have to love the girl, who cheerfully admits, "It's all true, I am that neurotic and fixated on sex"

—— Eve

There's little doubt that by this summer, 'Abigail', a single thirtysomething woman who most definitely prefers sex to shopping, will be a media obsession

—— Louise France , Observer

Her stories about lovers past and present are always engaging and definitely sexy, written with thoughtful candour. Though the recollections are graphic, they're not solely designed for titillation. As such, they make very good erotic reading

—— Sugarclick.com

This book brought tears to my eyes several times... but despite the tragedy at the heart of the book, there are flashes of humour

—— Daisy Goodwin , The Sunday Times

Deeply moving

—— Angus McBride , Guardian

A searingly honest book

—— Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan , Daily Express

Extremely honest and candid

—— Lorraine Kelly , Sun

(A) testament to the ferocity of maternal love

—— Allison Pearson , Daily Telegraph

Heller's domestic side is evoked with painful detail by his daughter, Erica, in her well written, occasionally harrowing memoir, Yossarian Slept Here

—— Sunday Times

Likeable memoir...just as Daugherty is blind to the limitations of Heller's work so he appears resistant to personal criticism of Heller or rebuke. Just One Catch is no hagiography but, of these two biographical accounts on Yossarian Slept Here gives us the gruff, arrogant big shot; the smug cocky fellow who sometimes showed up to friend's cocktail parties for the sheer fun of insulting them

—— Leo Robson , Financial Times
